 It is often necessary to identify whether a particular point in the
 N-dimensional space is within the Delaunay tessellation of a set of
-points in this N-dimensional space, and if so which N-Simplex contains
+points in this N-dimensional space, and if so which N-simplex contains
 the point and which point in the tessellation is closest to the desired
 point.  The functions @code{tsearch} and @code{dsearch} perform this
 function in a triangulation, and @code{tsearchn} and @code{dsearchn} in
 an N-dimensional tessellation.
 
 To identify whether a particular point represented by a vector @var{p}
