Scalar

Vectors need not correspond to a physical quantity; anything can be a vector space as long as vector addition and scalar multiplication is defined.

C structures allow the grouping of scalar variables, such as the coordinates of a point.

Mathematicians and scientists call a quantity which depends on direction a vector quantity. A quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity.

However, it can be expected that 'scale-similarity' models of this form will be inadequate for describing non-equilibrium scalar fields resulting, for example, from non-equilibrium inlet flow conditions.

Scalar thickening is useful for understanding the propensity of scales to coalesce in certain times and places, or even how a particular scale provides conditions for other forms of scalar production.

Spector (2006, 2007) suggests to derive this inference as a scalar implicature.

Also, the scalar meaning in both sentences is not sensitive to context, because the truth value of the sentences does not change depending on context.

In Mandarin Chinese, the same sentence containing a numeral-classifier phrase as a negative polarity item can be employed for two types of scalar inferences based on either the numeral or the noun.
