whats the difference between stationary point and turning point ?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

I believe a stationary point is where the 1st derivative of a function is equal to zero. this could be at a minimum, maximum or point of inflection. A turning point is where the second derivative is not zero and so does not include a point of inflection.
