Meaning

'Almost always or Almost everywhere or Almost all are phrases that mean all but a finite number[1]


TODO: But in measure theory and probability it means all but a set of measure zero



Examples

  • f<10 almost everywhere
    The set {x|f(x)10} is finite (assuming that f runs over natural numbers, of course)

Note

The template {{a.e}} which looks like "a.e" can be used where needed and will link here (it is actually a link, but on this page it doesn't show as one because it links to this very page!)
