Modulus may refer to:
Moduli, the plural form may refer to:
- Modulus (gastropod)Modulus (gastropod)Modulus is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Modulidae.-Species:Species within the genus Modulus include:* Modulus ambiguus Dautzenberg, 1910* Modulus bayeri Petuch, 2001...
a genus of small sea snails - Modulus (algebraic number theory)Modulus (algebraic number theory)In mathematics, in the field of algebraic number theory, a modulus is a formal product of places of a global field...
, a formal product of places of a number field - The absolute valueAbsolute valueIn mathematics, the absolute value |a| of a real number a is the numerical value of a without regard to its sign. So, for example, the absolute value of 3 is 3, and the absolute value of -3 is also 3...
of a real or complex number ( | a | ) - Modular arithmeticModular arithmeticIn mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" after they reach a certain value—the modulus....
, the modulus being the value at which numbers "wrap around" - Modulus of continuityModulus of continuityIn mathematical analysis, a modulus of continuity is a function\omega:[0,\infty]\to[0,\infty]used to measure quantitatively the uniform continuity of functions. So, a function f:I\to\R admits \omega as a modulus of continuity if and only if|f-f|\leq\omega,for all x and y in the domain of f...
, a function gauging the uniform continuity of a function - Elastic modulusElastic modulusAn 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 modulusYoung's modulusYoung's modulus is a measure of the stiffness of an elastic material and is a quantity used to characterize materials. It is defined as the ratio of the uniaxial stress over the uniaxial strain in the range of stress in which Hooke's Law holds. In solid mechanics, the slope of the stress-strain...
, a specific elastic modulus - Modulus GuitarsModulus GuitarsModulus Guitars is an American 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.The name may...
, musical instrument manufacturer - Modulus Financial Engineering, financial engineering corporation
- Modulus robotModulus robotThe 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...

Moduli, the plural form may refer to:
- Moduli (physics), scalar fields for which the potential energy function has continuous families of global minima
- Moduli spaceModuli spaceIn 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...
