/**
 *
 * 
 * This package contains code related to partitioning of spaces by hyperplanes.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * A hyperplane is a subspace of dimension one less than its surrounding space.
 * In Euclidean 3D space, the hyperplanes are 2-dimensional planes, while in
 * Euclidean 2D space, the hyperplanes are 1-dimensional lines. Hyperplanes have
 * the property that they partition the entire surrounding space into 3 distinct sets
 * of points: (1) points lying on one side of the hyperplane, (2) points lying on the
 * opposite side, and (3) points lying directly on the hyperplane itself. In order
 * to differentiate between the two sides of the hyperplane, one side is labeled
 * as the plus side and the other as the minus side. The plus side
 * of a Euclidean plane, for example, lies in the direction of the plane normal.
