Modulus



 
  Modulus may refer to:

  • Modulus (algebraic number theory)
    Modulus (algebraic number theory)

    In mathematics, in the field of algebraic number theory, a modulus is a formal product of Place s of an algebraic number field. It is used to encode ramification data for abelian extensions of number field....
    , a formal product of places of a number field
  • Modulus of continuity
    Modulus of continuity

    In mathematics, the modulus of continuity is a precise way to measure the smoothness of a function. It is used as a delicate tool in mathematical analysis, to discuss highly non-smooth functions, which nonetheless enjoy some kind of smoothness....
    , a way to measure the smoothness of a function
  • Elastic modulus
    Elastic modulus

    An elastic modulus, or modulus of elasticity, is the mathematical description of an object or substance's tendency to be deformed elastically when a force is applied to it....
    , a measure of stiffness
  • Young's modulus
    Young's modulus

    In solid mechanics, Young's modulus is a measure of the stiffness of an isotropic elastic material. It is also known as the Young modulus, modulus of elasticity, elastic modulus or tensile modulus....
    , a specific elastic modulus
  • Modulus Guitars
    Modulus Guitars

    Modulus Guitars is an United States manufacturer of musical instruments, most notably bass guitars built with carbon fiber necks. The company, originally called Modulus Graphite, was founded in part by Geoff Gould, a bassist who also worked for an aerospace company in Palo Alto, California....
    , musical instrument manufacturer
  • Modulus robot
    Modulus robot

    The household robot Modulus, described by the manufacturer as "the friend of homo sapiens", was made by Sirius, a company Massimo Giuliana set up in 1982 for marketing home and personal computers, and which decided to start building its own domestic robot back in 1984....
    , a household robot


It may also refer to:
  • In modular arithmetic
    Modular arithmetic

    In mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" after they reach a certain value — the modulus....
    , the value at which numbers "wrap around"
  • The absolute value
    Absolute value

    In mathematics, the absolute value of a real number is its numerical value without regard to its Negative and non-negative numbers. So, for example, 3 is the absolute value of both 3 and -3....
     of a real or complex number
  • The modulo operator (%) of various programming languages


Moduli, the plural form may refer to:

  • Moduli (physics), scalar fields for which the potential energy function has continuous families of global minima
  • Moduli space
    Moduli space

    In algebraic geometry, a moduli space is a geometric space whose points represent algebro-geometric objects of some fixed kind, or isomorphism classes of such objects....
    , in mathematics a geometric space whose points represent algebro-geometric objects

  • Modulo
    Modulo

    The word modulo, in the mathematical community, is often used informally, in many imprecise ways. Generally, to say "A is the same as B modulo C" means, more-or-less, "A and B are the same except for differences accounted for or explained by C"....
