Beck's theorem, in the context of geometry, generally refers to a result in the field of combinatorial geometry related to point sets and convex shapes. More specifically, it states that for any finite set of points in the plane, there exists a subset of those points that can be covered by a convex polygon of a certain size, where the size is influenced by the dimension of the space.
