Informally, Kajang is known as the " Satay Town ", and is famous among tourists and locals alike.

Informally we can think of elements of the Lie algebra as elements of the group that are " infinitesimally close " to the identity, and the Lie bracket is something to do with the commutator of two such infinitesimal elements.

Informally, a measure has the property of being monotone function | monotone in the sense that if A is a subset of B, the measure of A is less than or equal to the measure of B.

Informally speaking, the prime number theorem states that if a random integer is selected in the range of zero to some large integer N, the probability that the selected integer is prime is about 1 / ln ( N ), where ln ( N ) is the natural logarithm of N. For example, among the positive integers up to and including N = 10 < sup > 3 </ sup > about one in seven numbers is prime, whereas up to and including N = 10 < sup > 10 </ sup > about one in 23 numbers is prime ( where ln ( 10 < sup > 3 </ sup >)= 6. 90775528. and ln ( 10 < sup > 10 </ sup >)= 23. 0258509 ).

Informally, he may have been known as " Dickon ", according to a sixteenth-century legend of a note, warning of treachery, that was sent to the Duke of Norfolk on the eve of Bosworth: " Jack of Norffolke be not to bolde ,/ For Dyckon thy maister is bought and solde ".

Informally, a permutation of a set of objects is an arrangement of those objects into a particular order.

Informally, a set of strategies is a Nash equilibrium if no player can do better by unilaterally changing his or her strategy.

Informally known as " The Big Book " ( with its first 164 pages virtually unchanged since the 1939 edition ), it suggests a twelve-step program in which members admit that they are powerless over alcohol and need help from a " higher power "; seek guidance and strength through prayer and meditation from God or Higher Power of their own understanding ; take a moral inventory with care to include resentments ; list and become ready to remove character defects ; list and make amends to those harmed, and then try to help other alcoholics recover.

Informally the name also refers to a larger district, the Monte Carlo Quarter ( corresponding to the former municipality of Monte Carlo ), which besides Monte Carlo / Spélagues also includes the wards of La Rousse / Saint Roman, Larvotto / Bas Moulins, and Saint Michel.

Informally, many Mechlinians ( in Dutch Mechelaars and locally pronounced Mecheleirs, people from this city ) daily speak Mechlinian ( in Dutch as well as locally Mechels ), a dialect by Dutch-speakers of Belgium pin-pointingly distincted from other Brabantic dialects by three different vowels of Dutch ( as in zout or rauw, in kei or bijl, in nu ) being typically pronounced as a same vowel – close to the one in English ' raw ' which does not appear in other dialects of the Flemish Region or in standard Dutch.

Informally, the tangent bundle of a manifold ( in this case a circle ) is obtained by considering all the tangent spaces ( top ), and joining them together in a smooth and non-overlapping manner ( bottom ).

Informally, such an object can be thought of as an assemblage of one or more chunks of rubber ( cells ), each shaped like a convex polytope, which are glued to each other by their facets — possibly with much stretching and twisting.

Informally, this type of graph is a set of objects called vertices ( or nodes ) connected by links called edges ( or arcs ), which can also have associated directions.

Informally known as " Friends ' Central ," the school encompasses three divisions: lower school ( nursery through 4th grades ), middle school ( 5th through 8th ) and upper school ( 9th through 12th ).

Informally called " Tu Canal " ( Your Channel ), the channel can also be seen in most parts of the San Diego market.

Informally, the term " graph invariant " is used for properties expressed quantitatively, while " property " usually refers to descriptive characterizations of graphs.

Informally, physicists use the terminology of cause and effect in the same everyday fashion as most other people do.

Informally, two crystals tend to be in the same crystal system if they have similar symmetries, though there are many exceptions to this.
