Difference between R^n and Euclidean n-space?

Hi, everyone:

I have seen authors like John Lee in his "Smooth Manifolds" book, use these two terms as being different, but without , AFAIK, explaining the difference between the two.

I assume it may be that Euclidean n-space is the manifold R^n with a preferred , or "default" chart, but I am not sure of this.

Anyone Else Know.?.

Thanks In Advance.
