A saddle is a supportive structure for a rider of an animal, fastened to an animal's back by a girth. The most common type is equestrian. However, specialized...

a stationary point that is not a local extremum is called a saddle point. An example of a stationary point of inflection is the point (0, 0) on the graph...
