Content:

Every compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ of class $C^k$ ($3\le k\le\infty$) can be $C^k$-isometrically imbedded in any small portion of a Euclidean space $\mathbb R^N$, where $N=\frac 12 n(3n+11)$.\, Every non-compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ of class $C^k$ ($3\le k\le\infty$) can be $C^k$-isometrically imbedded in any small portion of a Euclidean space $\mathbb R^N$, where $N=\frac 12 n(n+1)(3n+11)$.
