Notes

• Once one thinks about multidimensional objects, you might want to know that lines and line segments are 1-dimensional (1次元). Squares, triangles, parallelograms, et al. are 2-dimensional (2次元). Conic sections are 3-dimensional (3次元).
• The study of Statistics (統計学) gets one wondering first about the study of probability (統計学 |
