	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Stationary point
		The stationary points in this graph are all relative maxima or relative minima.
		A point of inflection is not necessarily a stationary point.
		In mathematics, particularly in calculus, a stationary point is an input to a function where the derivative is zero (equivalently, the gradient is zero): where the function "stops" increasing or decreasing (hence the name).

		The term is mostly used in one dimension, which this article discusses: stationary points in higher dimensions are usually referred to as critical points; see there for higher dimensional discussion.
		The term "critical point" is often confused with "stationary point".
		Note that there is also a different definition of critical point in higher dimensions, where the derivative does not have full rank, but is not necessarily zero; this is not analogous to stationary points, as the function may still be changing in some direction.

	Turning points
		For a function: y = f(x), a stationary point is a point on the function graph where the gradient of the function is zero.
		For the point: (-1.66667,2.48148), we observe from the dy/dx graph that dy/dx is positive to the left of the point, and negative to the right of the point.
		For the point (3,-2.6), dy/dx is negative to the left of the point and positive to the right of the point, which is consistent with a local minimum.

	Stationary point Summary
		The concepts of extrema and critical points of functions is an extremely useful concept in mathematics, particularly the areas of calculus and differential equations.
		Critical points are any interior points of the domain at which the derivative of the function is either zero or undefined (that is, does not exist).
		A point of inflection is not necessarily a stationary point.

	Mass DEP :: Stationary Source Emission Inventory
		The Stationary Point Source category (Section A) includes stationary facilities which emit actual emissions over 10 tons per year (TPY) of VOC, over 50 TPY of NOx and 100 TPY of CO. Stationary Area sources are smaller.
		The excluded non-reactive VOC compounds are outlined in the Stationary Point Source Section A. VOC's are generally emitted from industrial, commercial and residential solvent and fuel combustion processes, on-road, non-road mobile sources and biogenic sources.
		The Stationary Point Source (Section A) emissions are originally estimated from a mail survey source registration (Appendix A.2) and DEP field data verification inspections.

		Thus the retrograde process does not begin at the stationary points, but instead may be likened to a gradual in-breathing and out-breathing.
		The stationary points are where its speed is approximately equal to the Earth's, and show threshold points of significance.
		These points are pauses in the action, so to speak, frozen moments of seeing a forward vision (at the point of stationary retrograde), or taking one last look at a rapidly receding past (at the point of stationary direct).

	Stationary Points
		A stationary point is a point on a curve where the derivative is zero.
		The tangent at the stationary point is parallel to the x-axis.
		A maximum turning point is one where, in its neighbourhood, the derivative decreases from positive values, to zero at the turning point, then to negative values.

	Some notes for Quantitative Methods, lecture 10
		This lecture is all about how we find these stationary points and determine mathematically whether they are maxima (MAX) or minima (MIN), or a third type of stationary point called a point of inflection.
		The stationary points are the values of x at which dy/dx = 0.
		In fact, x = 1 is neither a maximum nor a minimum; it is instead what is known as a point of inflection, which is a point where the slope of the graph is zero, but which is neither a maximum nor a minimum.

		Each point well is assumed to be roughly spherical and have a radius equal to the Planck length, which is the mean distance between adjacent points.
		Considering each point as a Schrödinger object in an infinite spherical well, this zero-point energy or ground state energy is inversely proportional to the radius of the well and the mass of the object.

		That is, being a stationary point is neither a necessary condition nor a sufficient condition for solving the problem.
		Although a maximizer may not be a stationary point, the only case in which it is not is when it is one of the endpoints of the interval I on which f is defined.
		That is, any point interior to this interval that is a maximum must be a stationary point.
