Fermat point
In geometry, the Fermat point, also called Torricelli point, and first isogonic center, is the solution to the problem of finding a point F inside a triangle ABC such that the total distance from the three vertices to point F is the minimum possible. It is so named because this problem is first raised by Fermat in a private letter.
