module

Mathematics
  • An equivalent idea to a vector space but where scalars are from a ring which need not be a field. Given a ring R with a multiplicative identity 1, an R-module M is an abelian group together with a notion of scalar multiplication (r,m) ↦rm, which further satisfies

    (r1+r2)m=r1m+r2m,(r1r2)m=r1(r2m),r(m1+m2)=rm+rm2,1m=m,

    for all r1,r2,r in R and m1,m2,m in M. Typically R is further assumed to be a principal ideal domain or a Euclidean domain. ℤ-modules are abelian groups and vice versa. An F[x]-module, where F is a field, is a vector space V over F together with a linear map x:VV defining scalar multiplication by x. Modules are intimately connected with representation theory. See free module, Jordan normal form, rational canonical form, Smith normal form, structure theorem, torsion element.


Space Exploration
  • A component of a spacecraft. Modules are designed in coordination. For the Apollo Moon landings, the craft comprised a command module (for working, eating, sleeping), service module (electricity generators, oxygen supplies, manoeuvring rocket), and lunar module (to land and return the astronauts).


Computer
  • 1. A programming or specification construct that defines a software component. Often a module is a unit of software that provides users with some data types and operations on those data types, and can be separately compiled. The module has an interface in the form of a heading that specifies the data types and operations the module provides its users. Mathematically, the syntax of the interface is a signature and the semantics of a module is a class of algebras of that signature. In some programming languages that provide modules, they are called by other names such as package, cluster, or object. The concept developed as a programming construct to support information hiding and abstract data types. The theory of program construction based on modules is a promising, but difficult, area of research.

    2. A component of a hardware system that can be subdivided.


Internet
  • A hardware chunk or software chunk that makes up a hardware, software, or mixed system. Modules almost invariably have well-designed interfaces which other modules can connect to. See also modular architecture.
