we can extend it to a continuous map &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;f : S^n --&amp;gt; S^m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; which in fact will be&lt;br /&gt;
a homeomorphism. Taking inverse if necessary we may assume &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;n &amp;lt; m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Let&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;F : Sn × [0, 1] --&amp;gt; Sm&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; be a homotopy of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;f&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; to a smooth map i.e. &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;F&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is continuous,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;F(x, 0) = f(x)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;F(x, 1)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is smooth. Since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;F(x, 1)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is smooth and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;n &amp;lt; m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; all&lt;br /&gt;
of its image points are singular values and by Sard&amp;#039;s theorem constitute a set&lt;br /&gt;
of measure zero. Then there is a point in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S^m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; not in the image of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;F(x, 1)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, but&lt;br /&gt;
the complement of that point is contractible. This means that we can extend&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;F&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; to &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\~{F} : Sn × [0, 2] --&amp;gt; S^m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; to be a homotopy of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;f&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; to a constant map. But then&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;f^{－1}\circ\~{F}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a contraction of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S^n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; which is a contradiction with the fact that no&lt;br /&gt;
such contraction exists.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
