'''Modulus''' is the [[diminutive]] from the Latin word ''modus'' meaning measure or manner. It, or its plural '''moduli''', may refer to the following:<br />

== Physics, engineering and computing ==<br />
* [[Moduli (physics)]], scalar fields for which the potential energy function has continuous families of global minima<br />
* The measurement of [[Gear#Standard pitches and the module system|standard pitch in the teeth of a rotating gear]]<br />
* [[Bulk modulus]], a measure of compression resistance<br />
* [[Elastic modulus]], a measure of stiffness<br />
*[[Shear modulus]], a measure of elastic stiffness<br />
* [[Young's modulus]], a specific elastic modulus<br />
* [[Modulo operation]] (<code>a % b</code>, <code>mod(a, b)</code>, etc.), in both math and programming languages; results in remainder of a division<br />
* Casting modulus used in [[Chvorinov's rule]].<br />
<br />
== Mathematics ==<br />
* [[Modulus (modular arithmetic)]], base of modular arithmetic<br />
* Modulus, the [[absolute value]] of a real or complex number ( {{math|{{abs|''a''}}}} )<br />
* [[Moduli space]], in mathematics a geometric space whose points represent algebro-geometric objects<br />
* [[Conformal modulus]], a measure of the size of a curve family<br />
* [[Modulus of continuity]], a function gauging the uniform continuity of a function<br />
* Similarly, the modulus of a [[Dirichlet character]]<br />
