point by Wkbj79 on 2006-07-24 20:39:22
While reading Mathprof's entry "metacompact", I was surprised to notice that the word "point" had no link. I was curious enough to look at the TeX code and was surprised to find that he had not supressed a link.

After looking around on PM to be sure that "point" really was not an entry, I decided that it would be a good idea to have a definition of it. This is my humble and modest beginning. I am quite sure that the word "point" has many different definitions in many different areas of mathematics, and I would appreciate it if you would add them. Thanks.
