The third Brocard point has triangle center function alpha=a^(-3) and is Kimberling center X_(76) (Kimberling 1998, p. 78). The point may have received its name since its ...

A singular point such that every neighborhood of the point intersects itself. Pinch points are also called Whitney singularities or branch points.

A connected graph G is distance-regular if for any vertices x and y of G and any integers i,j=0, 1, ...d (where d is the graph diameter), the number of vertices at distance i ...

A point where a curve intersects itself along four arcs. The above plot shows the quadruple point at the origin of the quadrifolium (x^2+y^2)^3-4x^2y^2=0.

A point where a curve intersects itself along three arcs. The above plot shows the triple point at the origin of the trifolium (x^2+y^2)^2+3x^2y-y^3=0.

The angular distance traveled around a circle is the number of radians the path subtends, theta=l/(2pir)2pi=l/r.

A fixed point is a point that does not change upon application of a map, system of differential equations, etc. In particular, a fixed point of a function f(x) is a point x_0 ...

The fixed point with respect to which a pedal curve or pedal triangle is drawn.

Given positive numbers s_a, s_b, and s_c, the Elkies point is the unique point Y in the interior of a triangle DeltaABC such that the respective inradii r_a, r_b, r_c of the ...

A point of a function or surface which is a stationary point but not an extremum. An example of a one-dimensional function with a saddle point is f(x)=x^3, which has f^'(x) = ...
