2. Four-dimensional space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-dimensional_space

   Four-dimensional space (4D) is the mathematical extension of the concept of three-dimensional space (3D). Three-dimensional space is the simplest possible abstraction of the observation that one needs only three numbers, called dimensions, to describe the sizes or locations of objects in the everyday world.

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. Dimension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension

   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.

6. 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.

7. Three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_space

   Three-dimensional space. A representation of a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system with the x -axis pointing towards the observer. In geometry, a three-dimensional space (3D space, 3-space or, rarely, tri-dimensional space) is a mathematical space in which three values (coordinates) are required to determine the position of a point.
