[mathematics] In linear algebra, real numbers are called scalars and relate to vectors in a vector space through the operation of scalar multiplication, in which a vector can be multiplied by a number to produce another vector. More generally, a vector space may be defined by using any field instead of real numbers, such as complex numbers....

[physics] In physics, a scalar is a one-dimensional physical quantity, i.e. one that can be described by a single real number (sometimes signed, often with units), unlike (or as a special case of) vectors, tensors, etc. which are described by several numbers which characterize magnitude and direction. Formally, a scalar is unchanged by coor...

A quantity specified by a single number or value, as distinct from a vector, matrix, or array, which contain multiple values; it is the simplest form of tensor. Examples of scalars include mass, volume, and temperature. A scalar field is an arrangement of scalar values distributed in a space.

Any quantity that has only magnitude as opposed to both magnitude and direction. For example mass is scalar quantity. By convention in physics the word speed is a scalar quantity, having only magnitude, while the word velocity is used to denote both the speed and the direction of the motion and is thus a vector quantity. See also: Vector.
