Abstract
A parametric representation of the usual thermodynamic variables in the neighborhood of a critical point is proposed in terms of new variables and . The representation is chosen so that the "scaling-law" behavior is entirely contained in the dependence, the dependence being free of critical singularities. Preliminary calculations show that the dependence may be chosen to have a rather simple form both in a ferromagnet and in fluids.
