I'm a bit rusty on my math, so please forgive me if my terminology is wrong or I'm overlooking extending a simple formula to solve the problem.

I have a collection of points in 2D space (x, y coordinates). I want to find the "average" point within that collection. (Centroid, center of mass, barycenter might be better terms.)

Is the average point just that whose x coordinate is the average of the x's and y coordinate is y the average of the y's?
