Scalar Field

A scalar field associates a single number (or scalar) to every point in space. Scalar fields are often used in physics, for instance to indicate the temperature distribution throughout space, or the air pressure.

The derivative of a scalar field results in a vector field called the gradient.

Scalar fields should be compared to vector fields, which associate a vector to every point in space.
