General Morphisms of Fiber Bundles
Let πE:E→ M and πF:F→ N be fiber bundles over spaces M and N respectively. Then a continuous map φ:E→ F is called a bundle map from E to F if there is a continuous map f:M→ N such that the diagram
commutes, that is, . In other words, φ is fiber-preserving, and f is the induced map on the space of fibers of E: since πE is surjective, f is uniquely determined by φ. For a given f, such a bundle map φ is said to be a bundle map covering f.

Famous quotes containing the words general, fiber and/or bundles:
“The reputation of generosity is to be purchased pretty cheap; it does not depend so much upon a man’s general expense, as it does upon his giving handsomely where it is proper to give at all. A man, for instance, who should give a servant four shillings, would pass for covetous, while he who gave him a crown, would be reckoned generous; so that the difference of those two opposite characters, turns upon one shilling.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth. They want three things only; for their children to be fed, to be healthy, and to make the most of themselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“He bundles every forkful in its place,
And tags and numbers it for future reference,
So he can find and easily dislodge it
In the unloading. Silas does that well.
He takes it out in bunches like birds’ nests.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
