One of the interpretations of the studied lexeme is “a small spot”. Example: “In books, when coding on the left, they counted and marked the letter with a pencil dot, which was barely noticeable. She pointed to the number of the line in the key, and on the right side, to the order of the letter in the line.”

In Euclidean geometry, we are talking about a point as o (about):
- one of the primary concepts that cannot be defined;
- mathematical object defined only by a list of its inherent properties - axioms;
- an abstract object that has no measurable characteristics in space, a zero-dimensional object.
In mathematics they talk about objects like points:
- return;
- inflection;
- minimum;
- maximum;
- extremum;
- infinitely distant.
Example: “In short, multiplication can be denoted as follows. First, the multiplicand is written, followed by a dot - the sign of multiplication, and after that - the multiplier.”

- dew;
- freezing;

Other interpretations
To better understand that this is a dot, you should consider other meanings of the word. Among them are the following:

Hotel chain
In the Leningrad region and in the Republic of Karelia, a new network of comfort-class hotels has appeared. These are hotels under the general name "Point on the map". In them you can find everything that is required for high-quality rest, for recuperation, in order to abstract from the usual way of life, ona few days to drop conventions and plunge into the stunning world of northern nature.
To spend your vacation in the hotels belonging to the "Point on the map" network means to use the ideal way to get to know Ladoga Karelia. This region is famous for its pine-covered rocks, crystal clear lakes, forest waterfalls, velvet moss and silence. All this pleasantly surprises the city dweller more than any special effects. Nicholas Roerich called this land "Terra incognita".
Natural beauty here is successfully combined with the comfortable conditions provided by the hotel chain. In some of the hotels, guests can be accommodated in modular apartments. The recreation area includes 31 standard rooms.
Each of them is located in a two-story complex. This also includes a room designed for people with disabilities. There are nine luxury suites and six family rooms. Other hotels have 60 standard rooms and one for people with disabilities. There are other options.
Dot movement
In order to describe how a body moves, by and large you need to know how its various points move. But when there is a translational movement of the body, then they will all move in the same way. Therefore, in order to describe the motion of a body, which is translational, it will be sufficient to consider only the motion of one of its points.
If the latter move differently, then in some cases they are limiteddescription of the movement of only one of them. Here we are talking about cases where only a change in the position of the body as a whole is of interest.
For example, this can take place when the flight of a bullet, an airplane, the movement of a ship in the sea, planets around the Sun are studied. So, when studying the rotation of a planet around a star, it will be enough to describe the movement of its center. Thus, in some cases, the description of the movement of the body is similar to the description of the movement of one point.
Different types of point movements differ from each other primarily by the types of trajectory. If the trajectory is a straight line, then the movement will be rectilinear, if it is a curve, then the movement will be curvilinear.
In oriental medicine
It's about feng fu - a point at the base of the skull. This area is unique. When exposed to it, it is possible to influence the brain itself, since in this case there is nothing else between the brain and the skin. Representatives of oriental medicine believe that exposure to it provides the maximum effect in the treatment of the body without additional effort.
To do this, a piece of ice is applied to the feng-fu zone. This is a place located in the depression located between the cervical tendons, about three centimeters above the place where hair growth begins. Here the neck and head meet each other. Here you need to keep the ice for 20 minutes. This procedure is repeated once every three days. For best results, it is recommended to do this on an empty stomach.
With the help of such a simple method,respiratory system, cardiovascular system, thyroid gland, vegetovascular dystonia, hyper- and hypotension. To avoid unpredictable consequences, it is not recommended to use this method without consulting a specialist.
