Algebra, chapter II, § 7. Vector spaces

Given a vector space E, the codimension (with respect to E) of a subspace F of E, denoted by codim⁡EF\operatorname{codim}_E F, or simply codim⁡F\operatorname{codim} F, is the dimension of E/FE/F (equal to that of any supplement of F in E).

Relation (3) may then be written

(9)

dim⁡F+codim⁡F=dim⁡E. \dim F + \operatorname{codim} F = \dim E.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
