In mathematics, an affine space is a geometric structure that generalizes the affine properties of Euclidean space. It can be thought of informally as a vector space where one has forgotten which point is the origin. In an affine space, one can subtract points to get vectors, or add a vector to a point to get another point, but one cannot add points. In particular, there is no distinguished point that serves as an origin.
