Mathematics
- Off-center, in geometry
- Eccentricity (graph theory) of a vertex in a graph
- Eccentricity (mathematics), a parameter associated with every conic section
Orbital mechanics
- Orbital eccentricity, in astrodynamics, a measure of the non-circularity of an orbit
- Eccentric anomaly, the angle between the direction of periapsis and the current position of an object on its orbit
- Eccentricity vector, in celestial mechanics, a dimensionless vector with direction pointing from apoapsis to periapsis
