Problem 1
Let \(S\) be a regular surface covered by coordinate neighborhoods \(V_{1}\) and \(V_{2}\). Assume that \(V_{1} \cap V_{2}\) has two connected components, \(W_{1}, W_{2}\), and that the Jacobian of the change of coordinates is positive in \(W_{1}\) and negative in \(W_{2}\). Prove that \(S\) is nonorientable.
