For the bigger-is-better type student, the 10 universities with the largest undergraduate populations in fall 2013 enrolled an average of 43,186 students. Among the 1,248 ranked universities responding to an annual U.S. News survey, the average was 6,154.
In geometry, a vertex (plural vertices) is a special kind of point that describes the corners or intersections of geometric shapes.
Here is a drawing showing you a flat hexagon shape and an odd 3-D shape. Vertices is the plural form of the word vertex. A vertex is a single point. It joins edges together in a shape. Often, we also might call it a corner or just a point. An edge is a line segment. It connects vertices together. In a two-dimensional object like the hexagon above, we sometimes call it a side. A flat surface (like the hexagon itself, or any of the flat sides of the 3-D figure on the right) is usually called a face, but sometimes we call it a side too.
