Definition
| any set of contiuous points, not necesarily straight, all of which lie in a single flat surgace, or plane, and which divides the plane into three distincet sets of points: those inside the curve, those on the curve, and those outside the curve. In addition, any two points inside the curve must be anle to be joined by a straight line, without touching the curve itself. In other words, the cure cannot cross itself, an it cannot be concae or bend inward. In must be ocnvex or bend only outward |
