An abelian group is the same as a $\mathbb{Z}$-module if we let integers "multiply" group elements in the obvious way (repeated addition). $\endgroup$ – hardmath Commented May 2, 2014 at 0:02
terminology - On the History of the Concept of Module
Dec 14, 2015 · A module is an object. The modulus (not the module btw) is something associated to a complex number. The term "modular" on the other hand is unrelated to either of these, and is probably most commonly a property certain things can have, namely modular forms. $\endgroup$ –
linear algebra - What is a Module, and what is an R-module ...
Initially I thought, since a module is a set of vectors, M would be some vectors of length 1, because an ideal is a set containing polynomials. But that seems to be incorrect. linear-algebra
How to calculate a Modulo? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Feb 28, 2018 · I really can't get my head around this "modulo" thing. Can someone show me a general step-by-step procedure on how I would be able to find out the 5 modulo 10, or 10 modulo 5. Also, what does t...

Understanding the difference between group representations and …
Sep 1, 2020 · For example, even though module theory is well-suited for cohomological considerations, your group might have extra structure that is not encoded in your group ring (e.g. topological, geometric). On the other hand, sometimes you want to consider a special class of representations, and so you have to change you group ring to something better ...
Why are modules called modules? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Feb 4, 2012 · The name "module" was introduced by Dedekind in his work on ideals and number fields. You can find both his paper (in translation) and his explanation in Stillwell's translation of Dedekind's third exposition of the theory of ideals, "Theory of Algebraic Integers", Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1996. It's a very nice read, and it is ...
