Abstract
In his paper on the algebraic approximation of differentiable manifolds Nash (1) introduced the concept of a sheet of a real algebraic variety (see the definition in §16 below) and raised certain questions of a general nature. In attempting to answer these questions it has been necessary to evolve some sort of technique for manipulating curves on algebraic varieties, and, in particular, to set up a criterion for the possibility of approximating a sequence of analytic arcs (definition in §1) joined end to end by a single analytic arc.Keywords
