In my experience mathematicians put the given *before* the statement:

   Given a, b, c three sides of a triangle, then

       Area = sqrt(s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c))

   where s = (a + b + c)/2 is the semi-perimeter of the triangle.

I agree, and "where" would be my first choice, but...
given... that "where" is not available, "given" seems
like the next best choice. At least it doesn't sound
blatantly wrong in that position.
