Construction For Vector Spaces and Abelian Groups
We give the construction first in these two cases, under the assumption that we have only two objects. Then we generalise to an arbitrary family of arbitrary modules. The key elements of the general construction are more clearly identified by considering these two cases in depth.

Famous quotes containing the words construction, spaces and/or groups:
“The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.”

“through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.”
