Point of inflection and Point of contraflexture

point of inflection

A point where a plane curve changes from the concave to the convex relative to some fixed line; equivalently, if the function determining the curve has a second derivative, this derivative changes sign at this point. Also known as inflection point. 




point of contraflexure

A point at which the direction of bending changes. Also known as point of inflection. 





So, Don't confuse. All POC is POI but all POI is not POC
