Definition talk:Dimension (Topology)

I stumbled across this page when reflecting the discussion here. While I think that the name Dimension (Topology) is somewhat ambiguous and I am not quite convinced there is a need for this page as it is implicitly defined here, I will define it here and whoever else stumbles across this page can transform it in a referral page to Definition:Locally Euclidean Space when needed. --Geometry dude (talk) 08:36, 19 September 2014 (UTC)


 * What is the nature of this ambiguity? Is it that "dimension" can be used to apply to something else topological apart from a Locally Euclidean Space? In which case, name it "Dimension of Locally Euclidean Space" or (better) set up "Dimension (Topology)/Locally Euclidean Space" as a subpage of "Dimension (Topology)". There are plenty of pages in this site that use a similar paradigm -- recommend you might want to browse.


 * "I am not quite convinced there is a need for this page" -- Please try and put such misgivings behind you, and immerse yoruself in the philosophy of this site. As I have said, the structural paradigm is absolutely and non-negotiably inflexible. --prime mover (talk) 21:46, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
