2. Four-dimensional space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space

   For example, consider the formulas for the area enclosed by a circle in two dimensions (=) and the volume enclosed by a sphere in three dimensions (=). One might guess that the volume enclosed by the sphere in four-dimensional space is a rational multiple of π r 4 {\displaystyle \pi r^{4}} , but the correct volume is π 2 2 r 4 {\displaystyle ...

3. Dimension (vector space) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension_(vector_space)

   A diagram of dimensions 1, 2, 3, and 4. In mathematics, the dimension of a vector space V is the cardinality (i.e., the number of vectors) of a basis of V over its base field. [1] [2] It is sometimes called Hamel dimension (after Georg Hamel) or algebraic dimension to distinguish it from other types of dimension.

4. Geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry

   Mathematics. Geometry (from Ancient Greek γεωμετρία (geōmetría) 'land measurement'; from γῆ (gê) 'earth, land' and μέτρον (métron) 'a measure') [1] is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. [2] Geometry is, along with arithmetic, one ...

5. Fractal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal

   In mathematics, a fractal is a geometric shape containing detailed structure at arbitrarily small scales, usually having a fractal dimension strictly exceeding the topological dimension. Many fractals appear similar at various scales, as illustrated in successive magnifications of the Mandelbrot set.

6. Vector space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_space

   In mathematics and physics, a vector space (also called a linear space) is a set whose elements, often called vectors, can be added together and multiplied ("scaled") by numbers called scalars. The operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication must satisfy certain requirements, called vector axioms.

7. Dimension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension

   A tesseract is an example of a four-dimensional object. Whereas outside mathematics the use of the term "dimension" is as in: "A tesseract has four dimensions", mathematicians usually express this as: "The tesseract has dimension 4", or: "The dimension of the tesseract is 4" or: 4D.
