From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   scalar
  
      1. A single number, as opposed to a {vector} or
      {matrix} of numbers.   Thus, for example, "scalar
      multiplication" refers to the operation of multiplying one
      number (one scalar) by another and is used to contrast this
      with "matrix multiplication" etc.
  
      2. In a {parallel processor} or {vector
      processor}, the "scalar processor" handles all the sequential
      operations - those which cannot be parallelised or vectorised.
  
      See also {superscalar}.
  
      3. Any data type that stores a single value
      (e.g. a number or {Boolean}), as opposed to an {aggregate}
      data type that has many elements.   A {string} is regarded as a
      scalar in some languages (e.g. {Perl}) and a vector of
      {characters} in others (e.g. {C}).
