In mathematics, an extreme point of a convex set in a real or complex vector space is a point in that does not lie in any open line segment joining two points of . In linear programming problems, an extreme point is also called vertex or corner point of S . {\displaystyle S.} [ 1 ]
This is a list of lists of places considered the most extreme by virtue of meeting some superlative geographical or physical criterion – e.g. farthest, highest, lowest, greatest, or least. Earth [ edit ]
An extreme point, in mathematics, is a point in a convex set which does not lie in any open line segment joining two points in the set. Extreme point or extremal point may also refer to: A point where some function attains its extremum; A leaf vertex of a tree in graph theory
The fastest point on Earth or, in other words, the point farthest from Earth's rotational axis is the summit of Cayambe [13] in Ecuador, which rotates around Earth's axis at a speed of 1,675.89 km/h (1,041.35 mph) and is 6,383.95 km (3,966.80 mi) from the axis.
This is a list of the extreme points of Australia (the country, not the continent). The list includes extremes of cardinal direction , elevation, and other points of peculiar geographic interest. The location of some points depend on whether islands and the Australian Antarctic Territory (which is not universally recognised) are included.
Extreme points are portions of a region which are further north, south, east, or west than any other. This is a list of extreme points in U.S. states , territories , and the District of Columbia . [ 1 ]

The extreme points of Japan include the coordinates that are the farthest north, south, east and west in Japan, and the ones that are at the highest and the lowest elevations in the country. Japan's northernmost point is disputed , because Japan considers it to be on Iturup , an island de facto governed by Russia .
