There are multiple uses of the word vertex in mathematics, including uses in graph theory and multiple uses in geometry.
Vertex of a parabola
The vertex of a parabola is the point which, if a vertical line is placed over it, divides the parabola into two equal mirror images.
Vertex of an angle

Vertex of a polygon or polyhedron
