Template:Wiktionary Template:TOCright A Module is self-contained component of a system, which has a well-defined interface to the other components; something is modular if it includes or uses modules which can be interchanged as units without disassembly of the module. Design, manufacture, repair, etc. of the modules may be complex, but this is not relevant; once the module exists, it can easily be connected to or disconnected from the system.
Module may also refer to:
Architecture
- Module (architecture), a section of a modular building, such as a modular home
- Vitruvian module, in architecture, the semidiameter of a column at its base
- Modular constructivism is a style of sculpture that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s
Computers
- Module (programming), computer program structuring
- Loadable kernel module, object code loadable into the Linux kernel
- Module file (.mod), various computer file formats for music
- Modular Power Supply Unit, customizable computer power supply unit
Mathematics
- Module (mathematics), in abstract algebra, a generalization of the notion of a vector space
- Module, in category theory, a generalization of the notions of relation and bimodule
- Modular form, in mathematics, certain analytic functions, used in number theory
- Modular representation theory, in mathematics, representing groups using complex numbers called characters
- Modular decomposition, in graph theory
- See also modulo, modulus and moduli space
Technology
- Ford Modular engine Ford's line of OHC V8 and V10 motors
- Module (equipment) - a complete subassembly of some sort which can be replaced in its entirety by an identical module or a different module
- The components of a modular space station such as the ISS or the Mir
- MCM (multi-chip module, an electronic part containing several sub-assemblies)
Other
- Cotton module, a huge compacted square of unprocessed cotton about the size of a school bus
- Sound module, electronic musical instrument without a human interface
