Mathematics and physics

* Scaling (geometry), a linear transformation that enlarges or diminishes objects * Scale invariance, a feature of objects or laws that do not change if scales of length, energy, or other variables are multiplied by a common factor ** Scaling law, a law that describes the scale invariance found in many natural phenomena * The scaling of critical exponents in physics, such as Widom scaling, or scaling of the renormalization group


Computing and information technology
