Antipoints

/ˈæntɪpɔɪnts/ noun

Definition

Mathematical or geometric points that are opposite or inverse to other points; in topology, points representing opposition or negation.

Etymology

From 'anti-' plus 'points.' This technical term appears in advanced mathematics and theoretical geometry to describe inversive geometry and projective mathematics.

Kelly Says

In inversion geometry, every point has an 'antipoint' at a mathematically inverse location—it's a way mathematicians model perfect reflection and symmetry!
