point

In geometry, a basic element, whose position in the Cartesian system may be determined by its coordinates.

Mathematicians have had great difficulty in defining the point, as it has no size, and is only the place where two lines meet. According to the Greek mathematician Euclid, (i) a point is that which has no part; (ii) the straight line is the shortest distance between two points.
