Tensor. A scalar is represented by one number. A vector has as many numbers as the number of dimensions. A tensor can have as many vectors as the number of dimensions, or even a larger number.

A pseudoscalar looks like a scalar except when it sees its reflection in a mirror. It's sort of like a vampire.

Of course. All 'dimensionless constants' are neither scalars (since they don't actually 'measure' anything) and they certainly aren't vectors, since they have no 'direction'. âº
