This paper is a survey of real rank and topological stable rank of \(C^*\)-algebras as a non-commutative extension of the covering dimension of topological spaces and as a non-commutative complex dimension for \(C^*\)-algebras, respectively. The classes of \(C^*\)-algebras of real rank zero and topological stable rank one, which play an important role in the classification theory of simple \(C^*\)-algebras, are discussed. Formulas for extensions and tensor products, Blackadar's problem for crossed product algebras, tracial topological, rank, etc., are also considered.
