Dimension, vector, space, Lebesgue, covering, Inductive, Hausdorff, Fractal dimension, Space-filling curve, Dimension, Hyperspace In mathematics and physics, the dimension of a space or object is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify each point within it. Thus a line has a dimension of one because only one coordinate is needed to specify a point on it. A surface such as a plane or the surface of a cylinder or sphere has a dimension of two because two coordinates are needed to specify a point on it. Cubes, cylinders and balls are three-dimensional. The concept of dimension is not restricted to physical objects. High-dimensional spaces occur in mathematics and the sciences for many reasons, frequently as...
