Question: why mathematics does not take in consideration third dimension?
Why do you think it doesn't? There's all kinds of mathematics dealing with three independent variables, e.g. vector analysis.
Third dimension
Does third dimension necessarily means three varialbes?
I want to see a repertoir x,y,z not x , y axes like the gallelian repertoir.
Well if it didn't mean dealing with threee independent vaiables how are you going to handle 3 dimensions with only two variables ?
That I would like to see.
Perhaps a little thought before posting might not have gone amiss.

What do you mean by "gallelian" and "repertoir?"
I know that there are three dimensions in my little cubicle here... but I can't tell you which of these dimensions is the "third" one.
I can do any number of matematical calculations based on one dimension (i.e. measure the distance between two points on my desk) or I can pick two dimensions (any two) and measure the area.
I can measure the area of my desk surface (which involves two measurements over two dimensions) or I can measure the area of my wall (i.e. two different measurements over two different dimensions).
I can also, by making three mesurements over three different dimensions figure out the entirely insufficient volume of this tiny space I am sitting in. This would be a calculation in three dimensions.
Of course calculations in one dimension require a lot less work than calculations in three dimensions. I would much prefer to do one-dimensional calculations which may explain why the problems you are given to solve tend to favor one and two dimensions.
