In case of daubts You should get familiar with the definition of microbundle.
Exercise 0.1 [Milnor1964, Lemma 2.1]. Let be a topological manifold. Show that is a microbundle.
Proof.
Let be a topological manifold. Then the composition sends , so the first condition in the definition is satisfied.
To prove that the second condition is satisfied we need to use local chart around . Choose to be one of the open sets coming from atlas of and let be associated chart. The obvious choice for neighbourhood is to take . The first naive candidate for would be map . However such fails to make the following diagram commute
since is mapped to and doesn't necessarily be (well, it depends on our definition of an atlas of a manifold?). We need just a small adjustment: .
Exercise 0.2 [Milnor1964, Theorem 2.2]. Let be a (paracompact!) smooth manifold. Show that and are isomorphic microbundles.
Proof. We have two concurring definitions of micro-tangent bundle. The first is given by the exercise above, the second by forgeting about the vector bundle structure on and treating it just as a microbundle where is the zero section.
To fix the notation please consult the definition of microbundle isomorphism on page on microbundles .
In our case we have
where is an open neighbourhood of the zero section.
We need to find a map $H\colon V\to
$ (well, it depends on our definition of an atlas of a manifold?). We need just a small adjustment: $h(u,v)=(u,h(u)-h(v))$. {{endproof}} {{beginthm|Exercise|{{citeD|Milnor1964|Theorem 2.2}}}} Let $M$ be a (paracompact!) smooth manifold. Show that $TM$ and $\xi_M$ are isomorphic microbundles. {{endthm}} {{beginproof}} We have two concurring definitions of micro-tangent bundle. The first is given by the exercise above, the second by forgeting about the vector bundle structure on $TM$ and treating it just as a microbundle $(TM, M, \pi,s_0)$ where $M\xrightarrow{s_0} TM$ is the zero section.

In our case we have $$ \xymatrix{ & V\ar[dd]^H \ar[rd]^{p_1}&\ M\ar[dr]_{\Delta_M}\ar[ur]^{s_0} & & M\ & M\times M \ar[ru]&} $$ where $V\subset TM$ is an open neighbourhood of the zero section. {{endproof}} We need to find a map $H\colon V\to M be a topological manifold.
