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:
“Perhaps I am still very much of an American. That is to say, naïve, optimistic, gullible.... In the eyes of a European, what am I but an American to the core, an American who exposes his Americanism like a sore. Like it or not, I am a product of this land of plenty, a believer in superabundance, a believer in miracles.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
