Abstract: Analogously to a notion of curvature of a curve and a surface, in the differential geometry, in the main part of this paper the notion of curvature of hyper-dimensional vector spaces of Riemannian metric is generally defined. The defined notion of curvature of Riemannian spaces of higher dimensions $M\colon M\ge 2$, in the further text of the paper, is functional related to the fundamental parameters of internal geometry of a space, more exactly, to components of Riemann–Christoffel's curvature tensor. At the end, analogously to a notion of lines of a curvature in the differential geometry, the notion of sub-spaces of curvature of Riemannian hyper-dimensional vector spaces is also generally defined.

Keywords: space, curvature of space, sub-space of curvature.
