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:
“In fast-moving, progress-conscious America, the consumer expects to be dizzied by progress. If he could completely understand advertising jargon he would be badly disappointed. The half-intelligibility which we expect, or even hope, to find in the latest product language personally reassures each of us that progress is being made: that the pace exceeds our ability to follow.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
