If you talk about the dimensions of an object or place, you are referring to its size and proportions. Drilling will continue on the site to assess the dimensions of the new oilfield see also fourth dimension. In mathematics, a number indicating the fewest coordinates necessary to identify a point in a geometric space; more generally, a number indicating a measurement of length (see length, area, and volume). One-dimensional space can be represented by a numbered line, on which a single number identifies a point. In two-dimensional space, a coordinate system may be superimposed, requiring only two numbers to identify a point. Three numbers suffice in three-dimensional space, and so on; one of three cartesian coordinates that determine a position in space; the magnitude of something in a particular direction (especially length or width or height); Connecting cells along dimensions is what ZigZag is about Locally, dimensions work just like on a spreadsheet: each cell can be connected to one cell in the positive direction and to one cell in the negative direction along each dimension However, there are no global constraints between the dimensions; Any of the independent ranges of indices in a multidimensional array; The dimenstion of a square matrix is the number of rows or columns in that matrix; 1 Of a set: the dimension of the smallest affine space that contains the set The dimension of an affine space is k if the maximum number of affinely independent points in the set is k+1 Of particular interest is the column space of a matrix A: {x: x=Ay for some y in R^n} The dimension of this is the rank of A Another is the row space of A: {x: x=uA for some u in R^m} The dimension of this is also the rank of A; Each attribute of a case or occurrence in the data being mined Stored as a field in a flat file record or a column of relational database table; If you talk about the dimensions of a situation or problem, you are talking about its extent and size. The dimensions of the market collapse were certainly not anticipated. = scale; The term dimensions forms with the cardinal numbers a phrase equivalent to degree with the ordinal; thus, a2b2c is a term of five dimensions, or of the fifth degree; The degree of manifoldness of a quantity; as, time is quantity having one dimension; volume has three dimensions, relative to extension; The property of an array that specifies the direction along an axis in which the array elements are stored For example, a two-dimensional array has an X-axis for columns and a Y-axis for rows See Array; An alternative universe or plane of existence; {i} measure; size; The concept of a Dimension is used to provide separate but topologically similar game areas for individuals or groups within a simulation Dimensions slice across all Star System Simulations within a universe A URL is used uniquely identify a Dimension across the Internet
