Definition:Centroid/Set of Points

Definition
Let $S = \set {A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n}$ be a set of $n$ points in Euclidean space whose position vectors are given by $\mathbf a_1, \mathbf a_2, \dotsc, \mathbf a_n$ repectively.

Let $G$ be the point whose position vector is given by:


 * $\vec {OG} = \dfrac 1 n \paren {\mathbf a_1 + \mathbf a_2 + \dotsb + \mathbf a_n}$

Then $G$ is known as the centroid of $S$.
