		The earliest recorded beginnings of geometry may be traced to Ancient Egypt (see geometry in Egypt) and Ancient Babylon (see Babylonian mathematics) around 3000 B.C. Early geometry was a collection of empirically discovered principles concerning lengths, angles, areas, and volumes, which were developed to meet some practical need in surveying, construction, astronomy, and various crafts.
		The first and most important was the creation of analytic geometry, or geometry with coordinates and equations, by Rene Descartes (1596-1650) and Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665).
		In geometry, there was a clear need for a new set of axioms, which would be complete, and which in no way relied on pictures we draw or on our intuition of space.

	PlanetMath: median
		The median of a triangle is a line joining a vertex with the midpoint of the opposite side.
		If the length of the three sides of the triangle are known, the length of the medians can be found by means of Apollonius theorem.
		This is version 9 of median, born on 2001-10-06, modified 2006-11-03.

	Arrow’s Theorem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		If the median line perpendicular to the line through x and y is on the x side of the perpendicular bisector, it follows that more than half the ideal points are on the x side of the bisector, so x beats y.
		The median line M is the perpendicular bisector of the reflection line of x through m.
		If every median line passes through x, then for any y distinct from x, the median line perpendicular to the line through x and y is closer to x than to y (for indeed it passes through x), so x beats y.

		In the group 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 14, 19, the median is 9, three numbers being larger and three smaller.
		When there is an even number of numerals in the group, the median is usually defined as the number halfway between the middle pair.
		The median of a trapezoid is the line segment connecting the midpoints of the nonparalled opposite sides.

		Altitudes, medians, and angle bisectors are common structures used to study triangle geometry.
		This investigation is an extension of the activity "Altitude, Median, and Angle Bisector of a Triangle." The same lines will be constructed in quadrilaterals to explore patterns and properties that seem to be true in four-sided figures rather than triangles.

	All about medians
		Since for two medians the points thus defined coincide, the same, by symmetry, is true for the remaining median.
		In Affine Geometry, all triangles are the same in the sense that between any two triangles there exists an affine transformation that maps vertices of one triangle sequentially on the vertices of another.
		In an isosceles triangle, side medians meet on the axes of symmetry of the triangle which, among other things, serves as the third median.

		During the last third of the book (the chapters on hyperbolic and spherical geometry), some basic familiarity with trigonometric functions and hyperbolic functions is assumed (cosh, sinh, tanh, and their inverses).
		In the eighth chapter all of these geometries are demonstrated to be special cases of the Kleinian vieuw of geometry: that is, every geometry can be seen as consisting of the invariants of a specific group of transformations of the 2 dimensional plane into itself.
		And, by passing to the more abstract Projective geometry, you can express the abstract idea of 'conic' by giving just one quadratic curve, be it a parabola, ellipse or hyperbola, by the pair (Qu, P), whereby P is the group of all projective transformations.

	GEOMETRY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		But, at the same time, it does seem that ideal points will typically be distributed in such a fashion that each median line would cut more or less through the center of the distribution, so that there would be a fairly small region (though not a single point) through which all median lines pass.
		The location of the yolk may be thought of as indicating the generalized center (in the sense of the median) of the distribution of ideal points.
		In three dimensions median "lines" become median planes, the yolk is a sphere, and at least four median planes are tangent to the yolk.

	median - Definitions from Dictionary.com
		For example, in the sequence 4, 8, 10, 56, the median is 9 (the average of 8 and 10).
		If there are an even amount of numbers in the series, the median is found by taking the mean of the two numbers in the middle of the distribution.
		In certain cases, the median can be a good way to determine an approximate average, especially when dealing with a set of numbers that could otherwise be skewed by outliers, such as the number 25 in the first set.
