1
The number of coordinates needed to specify the position of a point in some space of possibilities.
2
The maximum cardinal number of a linearly independent set of vectors in a vector space. This abstract definition captures the essence of statements such as ‘ordinary space is three-dimensional’ and allows for the possibility of spaces of arbitrary finite or infinite dimensions.
3
One of several ways of assessing the extent of a set, typically based on the smallest total area or volume of a collection of arbitrarily small circles or spheres that cover the set. It is such measures that assign nonintegral dimensions to a fractal.
