In geometry, a triangle center or triangle centre is a point in the triangle's plane that is in some sense in the middle of the triangle. For example, the centroid , circumcenter , incenter and orthocenter were familiar to the ancient Greeks , and can be obtained by simple constructions .
The Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers (ETC) is an online list of thousands of points or "centers" associated with the geometry of a triangle. This resource is hosted at the University of Evansville. It started from a list of 400 triangle centers published in the 1998 book Triangle Centers and Central Triangles by Professor Clark Kimberling. [1]

Fig 1. Construction of the first isogonic center, X(13). When no angle of the triangle exceeds 120°, this point is the Fermat point. In Euclidean geometry, the Fermat point of a triangle, also called the Torricelli point or Fermat–Torricelli point, is a point such that the sum of the three distances from each of the three vertices of the triangle to the point is the smallest possible [1] or ...
In Euclidean geometry, the isodynamic points of a triangle are points associated with the triangle, with the properties that an inversion centered at one of these points transforms the given triangle into an equilateral triangle, and that the distances from the isodynamic point to the triangle vertices are inversely proportional to the opposite side lengths of the triangle.
The following result can be used to locate the Spieker center of any triangle. [1] The Spieker center of triangle ABC is the incenter of the medial triangle of ABC. That is, the Spieker center of ABC is the center of the circle inscribed in the medial triangle of ABC. This circle is known as the Spieker circle.
Each centered triangular number from 10 onwards is the sum of three consecutive regular triangular numbers. For n > 2, the sum of the first n centered triangular numbers is the magic constant for an n by n normal magic square.
