In mathematics, the term should not be confused with a similar notion of extremal point which is a point where some function attains its Extremum . For example, points in the plane that have minimal or maximal X- Coordinate s are called extremal points in X direction. Similarly extremal points may be defined for any direction, not only in a direction of a Coordinate Axis .

In Graph Theory , the leaf vertices of a Tree are sometimes called extremal points or '''extremal vertices'''.

In Geography , an extreme (extremal) point is a point of land that extends farther in one direction than any other part of that land, which corresponds to the mathematical notion of extremal point in a given direction.
