Modules

A module is a generalization of a vector space. You can think of it as a group of vectors with scalars from a ring instead of a field. In this lesson, we introduce the module, give a variety of examples, and talk about the ways in which modules and vector spaces are different from one another.

Abstract Algebra Textbook
Abstract Algebra by Dummit & Foote is a standard textbook used by colleges and universities. It is extremely well written with lots of examples and exercises. It covers all the topics for a solid first course in Abstract Algebra. We use this on occasion as a reference for inspiration or reference. Highly recommended!
