👉 In mathematics, a pointed set is a set with one or more indeterminates, which are not considered as independent variables in the traditional sense. A pointed set can be thought of as a special kind of set that allows for variable interpretations (pointedness) to exist. The concept of pointedness has been introduced by mathematicians such as David Hilbert and Georg Cantor, who studied sets with this property. The idea behind pointedness is that the properties of a set are not immediately apparent
