Abstract. For the last decade there has been a generalized trend in mathe- matics on the search for large algebraic structures (linear spaces, closed sub- spaces, or infinitely generated algebras) composed of mathematical objects enjoying certain special properties. This trend has caught the eye of many researchers and has also had a remarkable influence in real and complex anal- ysis, operator theory, summability theory, polynomials in Banach spaces, hy- percyclicity and chaos, and general functional analysis. This expository paper is devoted to providing an account on the advances and on the state of the art of this trend, nowadays known as lineability and spaceability.
