• In mathematics there are, in addition to the dimensions mentioned above (equal if there is an isometry), various other concepts of size for sets:
  • measure (mathematics)
  • cardinality (equal if there is a bijection)
  • for well-ordered sets: ordinal number (equal if there is an order-isomorphism)
