In an acid-base titration for the reaction HCl + NaOH -> H2O + NaCl the equivalence point is when the hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide neutralise each other in equimolar proportions. When one mole of HCl is added to one mole of NaOH then equivalence point is reached.

The 'end point' in a titration is when the indicator changes to the neutral colour (e.g. green) and this is usually an approximation of where the equivalence point is.

As a result, we can deduce concentrations of unknown substances if we know the stoichiometric numbers of in the chemical reaction (i.e. 1HCl) and have a substance of known concentration react the unknown with.

The definition of an equivalence point is when the analyte solution is neutralized. It is also known as the stoichiometric point and is part of a chemical reaction.

What is the definition of an equivalance point?

Honestly there is no way to answer this without seemingly plagiarizing. There are certain words to describe this and you can't really change them around. However here is my attempt: the equivalence point is the point where a chemical reaction equalizes the titrants to the number of moles, effectively neutralizing the substance.

Is inflection point the saddle point?

An inflection point is not a saddle point, but a saddle point is an inflection point. To be precise, a saddle point is both a stationary point and an inflection point. An inflection point is a point at which the curvature changes sign, so it is not necessary to be a stationary point.
