Homological dimension refers to a measure of the complexity of modules in terms of their projective or injective resolutions. It indicates how many steps are needed to resolve a module using projective or injective modules, helping to classify modules based on their structure and behavior. This concept is crucial when studying the Ext functor, as it directly relates to the calculation of Ext groups and the properties of modules over rings.
congrats on reading the definition of Homological Dimension. now let's actually learn it.
