  Module (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In abstract algebra, the concept of a module over a ring is a generalization of the notion of vector space, where instead of requiring the scalars to lie in a field, the "scalars" may lie in an arbitrary ring.
The kernel of a module homomorphism f : M → N is the submodule of M consisting of all elements that are sent to zero by f.
A free module is a module that has a basis, or equivalently, one that is isomorphic to a direct sum of copies of the scalar ring R.

 Subroutine
A simple example is a subprogram that implements a Pseudorandom number generator; that is, a subprogram that returns a random number each time it is called.
Such behavior is invalid in a strict mathematical sense.
An exception to this common behaviour is found in pure functional programming languages such as Haskell, where subprograms can have no side effects, and will always return the same result if repeatedly called with the same arguments.
