``Re: point'' by mathcam on 2006-07-25 13:29:29
Well, just to start the discussion, why not define it as an element of a topological space? (Or, more formally, if we think about a topological space as a set with some extra structure, an element of that set).

One would obviously include many examples of the different usages, but off the top of my head, I can't think of any instances of using the word point that isn't a specific example of the above.
