Definition: Dimension of a Vector Space
The dimension \(\operatorname {dim}(V)\) of a vector space \(V\) is the maximum number \(n\) of linearly independent vectors contained in \(V\). If no such maximum number exists, we set \(dim(V)=\infty\).
- If \(\operatorname {dim}(V) = \infty\), \(V\) is called a infinitely dimensional vector space.
- If \(\operatorname {dim}(V) < \infty\), \(V\) is called a finitely dimensional vector space.
