open-in-new
<p>In algebraic geometry, the dimension of a scheme is a generalization of a <a href="/facts/Dimension_of_an_algebraic_variety/sXqIHcYc">dimension of an algebraic variety</a>. <a href="/facts/Scheme_theory/c7uSqGqL">Scheme theory</a> emphasizes the <a href="/facts/Grothendieck%27s_relative_point_of_view/Nf3WRu0N">relative point of view</a> and, accordingly, the relative dimension of a <a href="/facts/Morphism_of_schemes/55CKqHHo">morphism of schemes</a> is also important. </p>
