1. module

   In programming, a module is a self-contained piece of a system that contains everything necessary to implement a specific functionality or a collection of related functionalities. It encapsulates data and the methods used to manipulate that data, and is designed to be integrated with other modules to build a complex system. In mathematics, particularly in the field of abstract algebra, a module is a mathematical structure where a set of elements adheres to both vector addition and scalar multiplication rules. It can be viewed as a generalization of vector spaces which do not necessarily rely on the field structure of real numbers. This term is also used in other fields with a slightly different meaning, always implying a component of a bigger system. In education, a module refers to a unit or section of a larger course, intended to be taught or studied separately. In engineering, a module could refer to a standardized or interchangeable component of a system or construction designed for easy assembly, flexibility and efficiency.

   a model or measure

2. Modulenoun

   the size of some one part, as the diameter of semi-diameter of the base of a shaft, taken as a unit of measure by which the proportions of the other parts of the composition are regulated. Generally, for columns, the semi-diameter is taken, and divided into a certain number of parts, called minutes (see Minute), though often the diameter is taken, and any dimension is said to be so many modules and minutes in height, breadth, or projection

3. Modulenoun

   to model; also, to modulate

4. Etymology: [See module, n., Modulate.]

1. Module

   In abstract algebra, the concept of a module over a ring is a generalization of the notion of vector space over a field, wherein the corresponding scalars are the elements of an arbitrary ring. Modules also generalize the notion of abelian groups, which are modules over the ring of integers. Thus, a module, like a vector space, is an additive abelian group; a product is defined between elements of the ring and elements of the module that is distributive over both parameters and is compatible with the ring multiplication. Modules are very closely related to the representation theory of groups. They are also one of the central notions of commutative algebra and homological algebra, and are used widely in algebraic geometry and algebraic topology.
