On every triangle there are points where special lines or circles intersect, and those points usually have very interesting geometrical properties. Such points are called triangle centersMathworldPlanetmath.

Some examples of triangle centers are incenterMathworldPlanetmath, orthocenterMathworldPlanetmath, centroid, circumcenterMathworldPlanetmath, excenters, Feuerbach point, Fermat pointsMathworldPlanetmath, etc.
