  2. specificallyThe point of intersection of the three medians of a given triangle; the point whose (Cartesian) coordinates are the arithmetic mean of the coordinates of the three vertices.
  3. the point whose (Cartesian) coordinates are the arithmetic mean of the coordinates of a given finite set of points.
  4. An analogue of the centre of gravity of a nonuniform body in which local density is replaced by a specified function (which can take negative values) and the place of the body's shape is taken by the function's domain.
    • The centroid of an arbitrary function f is given by #92;frac#123;#92;intxf(x)dx#125;#123;#92;intf(x)dx#125;, where the integrals are calculated over the domain of f.
