A self-contained component of a system, often interchangeable, which has a well-defined interface to the other components.
- 2025 February 11, Joshua Stylman, “How to Forge the Spectator Class”, in Brownstone Journal‎:
  A friend who’s spent decades as an auto mechanic recently confided that he’s grateful to be nearing retirement. “These Teslas,” he told me, “they’re not even cars anymore – they’re computers on wheels. When something goes wrong, you don’t fix it; you just replace entire modules.” What was once a craft that any dedicated person could learn has become an exercise in supervised dependency.

Usage notes

(abelian group equipped with multiplication by an element of a ring):
- For a given ring R, one speaks of an "R-module" or, equivalently, of a "module over R". R is expected to be unital.
- R may also be a Lie algebra.
- If K is a field, "K-module" is identical to "K-vector space".
- If the ring is not commutative, scalar multiplication of a module is defined as left- and/or right-multiplication, and one refers to a "left R-module" or a "right R-module".
- The concept of module is closely connected to the representation theory of groups and is central to both commutative algebra and homological algebra. Modules are also widely used in algebraic geometry and algebraic topology.

Hyponyms

(algebraic structure, mathematics): vector space, free module, projective module, injective module
