Abstract: Gromov cite{Gr${}_1$} and Dranishnikov cite{Dr${}_1$} introduced asymptotic and coarse dimensions of proper metric spaces via quite different ways. We define coarse and asymptotic dimension of all metric spaces in a unified manner and we investigate relationships between them generalizing results of Dranishnikov cite{Dr${}_1$} and Dranishnikov-Keesling-Uspienskij cite{DKU}.
