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 product of the artist has become less important than the fact of the artist. We wish to absorb this person. We wish to devour someone who has experienced the tragic. In our society this person is much more important than anything he might create.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
