History of general topology (54-03) Dimension theory in general topology (54F45)

Review text

This is an interesting historical account on the origins of dimension theory. The names of the chapters best illustrate its contents: 1. Bolzano's dimension, 2. Poincaré's ideas and Brouwer's definition, 3. Lebesgue's contribution. 4. On disconnected spaces, 5. Origins of the small inductive dimension, 6. Dimension theory in the late twenties, 7. Metric dimension and metric order, 8. Dimension and axioms, 9. Čech's contribution. A comprehensive bibliography will be of great help to the interested reader. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0888.54001].
