Fiber Bundle: Also known as
Some sources refer to a fiber bundle just as a bundle.
Some sources use the term twisted product.
By an abuse of language, it is common to say that $E$ is a fiber bundle over $M$.
One also finds the formulation Let $E \overset \pi \to M$ be a fiber bundle in the literature.
