Tensor Product Interpretation
By the very definitions, the localization of the module is tightly linked to the one of the ring via the tensor product
- S−1M = M ⊗RS−1R,
This way of thinking about localising is often referred to as extension of scalars.
As a tensor product, the localization satisfies the usual universal property.

Famous quotes containing the word product:
“The guys who fear becoming fathers don’t understand that fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man. The end product of child raising is not the child but the parent.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
