== Introduction == In physics, a '''scalar''' is a quantity that is fully described by a single numerical value (magnitude) and has no direction. Scalars are used to measure and represent physical properties that do not depend on orientation in space. Scalars contrast with [[Vector (Physics)|vectors]], which require both magnitude and direction for complete description.
