If we define &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;U&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; as the open subset of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\R^n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; comprising those points of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\R^n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; at distance less than &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\epsilon&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; from &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;M&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;U&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; can be viewed as a concrete realization, in the ambient space &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\R^n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, of the normal bundle to &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;M&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; in &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\R^n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. In the situations where the normal bundle to &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;M&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is trivial, we see that this gives a natural diffeomorphism &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;U \cong M \times \R^{n-m}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
