where

Hi,
is it ok to use "where" the way it's used in the following examples?

You can say that y = x - 5t, where t is a constant you can choose at random.
The title will be "The ring of Pneumodia", where Pneumodia is the name of a sea on a distant planet.
It's a "foreign prototype", where "foreign" means it doesn't come from California.

In its mathematical use, I don't think there is any other word that could substitute for where. In mathematics you see this usage thousands of times.
