Critical point

In chemistry, a critical point is a critical temperature.


In physics, it often also means the point of a second order phase transition.


In mathematics, a critical point (or critical number) is a point on the graph of a function where the derivative is either infinite, undefined, or equal to zero. The latter kind is a stationary point.
