A module is a self-contained component of a system, which has a well-defined interface to the other components; something is modular if it is constructed so as to facilitate easy assembly, flexible arrangement, and/or repair of the components.
Computers,
- Module (programming), computer program structuring.
- Module (Linux), object code loadable into the Linux kernel.
- Module file (.mod), various computer file formats for music.
Mathematics,
- Module (mathematics), in abstract algebra, a set with addition and multiplication.
- Modular form, in mathematics, certain analytic functions, used in number theory.
- Modular representation theory, in mathematics, representing groups using complex numbers called characters.
Other,
