Dimensions 0 and 1: Trivial
For more details on this topic, see Curve.There is a unique connected 0-dimensional manifold, namely the point, and disconnected 0-dimensional manifolds are just discrete sets, classified by cardinality. They have no geometry, and their study is combinatorics.
A connected 1-dimensional manifold without boundary is either the circle (if compact) or the real line (if not). However, maps of 1-dimensional manifolds are a non-trivial area; see below.

Famous quotes containing the words dimensions and/or trivial:
“Why is it that many contemporary male thinkers, especially men of color, repudiate the imperialist legacy of Columbus but affirm dimensions of that legacy by their refusal to repudiate patriarchy?”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“If the pages of this book contain some successful verse, the reader must excuse me the discourtesy of having usurped it first. Our nothingness differs little; it is a trivial and chance circumstance that you should be the reader of these exercises and I their author.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
