Homogeneous or uniform distribution occurs when the quantity has the same value for all parts of the medium; otherwise the distribution is said to be non-homogeneous. (see Art. 26, Vol. I.)

Excerpt from The Elements of Physics, Vol. 2 of 3: A College Text-Book; Electricity and Magnetism

A distributed scalar is a scalar quantity used to specify: the condition or state of a medium. Such a quantity has, in general, a distinct value for each small part of the medium.

Homogeneous or uniform distribution occurs when the quantity has the same value for all parts of the medium; otherwise the distribution is said to be non-homogeneous. (see Art. 26, Vol. I.) Many of the geometrical conceptions arising from the consideration of dis tributed quantity, particularly of distributed vectors, are of great importance in the theory of electricity and magnetism. A discussion of distributed quantity is therefore given as an introduction to the present volume. The student should, at starting, read as much as possible of this introduction, dropping it whenever any serious difficulty is encountered to take it up again and again during the progress of his work upon the main portion of the text. Most of the definitions concerning distributed scalars and vectors are seen to be legitimate, p/zysiazl continuity being assumed, and such proofs as do not make use of Cartesian coo'rdinates are rigorous. The introduction of Cartesian coordinates for the purpose of formulating definitions and proving theorems, to be rigorous, must be accompanied by very elaborate proof in each case that the choice of axes is a matter of indifference. Such Cartesian expressions and developments as are herein given are known to be true, but their use here is more of the nature of exposition than of proof The student who wishes to read extensively must be familiar with these Cartesian expressions.
