• 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.

• Modulus, the absolute value of a real or complex number ( |c| )
• Modulus (modular arithmetic), base of modular arithmetic
• Similarly, the modulus of a Dirichlet character

• Modulus of continuity, a function gauging the uniform continuity of a function
• Similarly, modulus of convergence
