The Hausdorff dimension, more specifically, is a further dimensional number associated with a given set, where the distances between all members of that set are defined. Such a set is termed a metric space. The dimension is drawn from the extended real numbers, <math>\overline{\mathbb{R}}</math>, as opposed to the more intuitive notion of dimension, which is not associated to general metric spaces, and only takes values in the non-negative integers. | The Hausdorff dimension, more specifically, is a further dimensional number associated with a given set, where the distances between all members of that set are defined.
