Modulus

Modulus is the diminutive from the Latin word modus meaning measure or manner. It, or its plural moduli, may refer to the following:

== Physics, engineering and computing == Moduli (physics), scalar fields for which the potential energy function has continuous families of global minima The measurement of standard pitch in the teeth of a rotating gear Bulk modulus, a measure of compression resistance Elastic modulus, a measure of stiffness Shear modulus, a measure of elastic stiffness Young's modulus, a specific elastic modulus Modulo operation (a % b, mod(a, b), etc.), in both math and programming languages; results in remainder of a division Casting modulus used in Chvorinov's rule.
