    Modules Notation

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the notation for left modules in the context of rings and modules as presented in Berrick and Keating's book. Specifically, the notation for a left module over a ring is represented with a left subscript, such as ${}_EM$ for a left module $M$ over a ring $E$. The correct LaTeX script to achieve this notation is provided as {}_EM, which produces the desired formatting.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of module theory and its notation
  • Familiarity with LaTeX typesetting for mathematical expressions
  • Knowledge of the concepts of left and right modules over rings
  • Basic understanding of the content in Berrick and Keating's book on rings and modules
NEXT STEPS
  • Research LaTeX commands for mathematical notation
  • Study the properties of left and right modules in ring theory
  • Explore advanced topics in module theory as discussed in Berrick and Keating's book
  • Learn about the implications of module notation in algebraic structures
USEFUL FOR

Mathematics students, educators, and researchers interested in algebra, particularly those studying module theory and its applications in ring theory.

I am reading Berrick and Keating's book on rings and modules.

Berrick and Keating indicate a right module over a ring $$R$$ as $$M_R$$, but in a left module the subscript is to the left ... can someone help me with the Latex script to achieve this?

An example of "left-subscript" notation appears in the following text from Berrick and Keating's book, where they refer to End($$M$$) where $$M$$ is a left module over $$E$$.View attachment 3074
Hope someone can help?

Sure Peter, use {}_EM to produce ${}_EM$.
