Point (geometry)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Point.
In geometry, topology and related branches of mathematics a spatial point describes a specific object within a given space that consists of neither volume, area, length, nor any other higher dimensional analogue. Thus, a point is a 0-dimensional object. Because of their nature as one of the simplest geometric concepts, they are often used in one form or another as the fundamental constituents of geometry, physics, vector graphics, and many other fields.
A point is a dot where you start your acute angle or your obtuse angle.
[edit] Points in Branches of Mathematics
A point in point-set topology is defined as a member of the underlying set of a topological space.
