Hyper may refer to:
- A prefix used in mathematics to denote four or more dimensions, see four-dimensional space and higher dimension
- HypercubeHypercubeIn geometry, a hypercube is an n-dimensional analogue of a square and a cube . It is a closed, compact, convex figure whose 1-skeleton consists of groups of opposite parallel line segments aligned in each of the space's dimensions, perpendicular to each other and of the same length.An...
, a cube [0,1]d, where d > 3 (the word tesseractTesseractIn geometry, the tesseract, also called an 8-cell or regular octachoron or cubic prism, is the four-dimensional analog of the cube. The tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square. Just as the surface of the cube consists of 6 square faces, the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of 8...
was used, especially in nineteenth and early twentieth century British semi-popular books on mathematics, to denote the special case d = 4 - HyperplaneHyperplaneA hyperplane is a concept in geometry. It is a generalization of the plane into a different number of dimensions.A hyperplane of an n-dimensional space is a flat subset with dimension n − 1...
, an affine subspace of codimension one in such a space - HypersphereHypersphereIn mathematics, an n-sphere is a generalization of the surface of an ordinary sphere to arbitrary dimension. For any natural number n, an n-sphere of radius r is defined as the set of points in -dimensional Euclidean space which are at distance r from a central point, where the radius r may be any...
, a round sphere of dimension higher than 3, especially if embedded in such a space - HypersurfaceHypersurfaceIn geometry, a hypersurface is a generalization of the concept of hyperplane. Suppose an enveloping manifold M has n dimensions; then any submanifold of M of n − 1 dimensions is a hypersurface...
, a submanifold of codimension one, especially if embedded in such a space (including hypersphere and hyperplane as special cases)

- A prefix used in engineering and physics to denote a phenomenon above the "super" level and below the "ultra" level
- HypersonicHypersonicIn aerodynamics, a hypersonic speed is one that is highly supersonic. Since the 1970s, the term has generally been assumed to refer to speeds of Mach 5 and above...

- HyperoperationHyperoperationIn mathematics, the hyperoperation sequenceis an infinite sequence of arithmetic operations that starts with the unary operation of successor, then continues with the binary operations of addition, multiplication and exponentiation, after which the sequence proceeds with further binary operations...
