context_page_description: In geometry, the barycentric coordinate system is a coordinate system in which the location of a point of a simplex is specified as the center of mass, or barycenter, of usually unequal masses placed at its vertices. Coordinates also extend outside the simplex, where one or more coordinates become negative. The system was introduced in 1827 by August Ferdinand Möbius.
