scalar

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition
scalar quantity or number possessing only sign and magnitude, e.g., the real numbers (see number ), in contrast to vectors and tensors ; scalars obey the rules of elementary algebra. Many physical quantities have scalar values, e.g., length, area, mass, energy, and electric charge. Such quantities as velocity, force, momentum, and spin are vectors and follow different algebraic rules. Author not available, SCALAR. , The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition 2007 ... Read more
