Module
Module, modular and modularity may refer to the concept of modularity. They may also refer to: == Computer science and engineering == Modular design, the engineering discipline of designing complex devices using separately designed sub-components Modular function deployment, a method in systems engineering and product development Module, a measure of a gear's pitch Ontology modularization, a methodological principle in ontology engineering === Computer software === Modular programming, a software design technique Java Platform Module System Modules (C++) Module SQL Loadable kernel module, an object file that contains code to extend the running kernel Environment Modules, a software tool designed to help users manage their Unix or Linux shell environment Modula-2 or Modula-3, programming languages which stress the use of modules === Computer hardware === Computer module, an early packaging technique that combined several electronic components to produce a single logic element Memory module, a physical "stick" of RAM, an essential piece of computer hardware Multi-chip module, a modern technique that combines several complex computer chips into a single larger unit == Science and mathematics == Module (mathematics) over a ring, a generalization of vector spaces G-module over a group G, in mathematics Modular lattice a kind of partially ordered set Modularity theorem (formerly Taniyama–Shimura conjecture), a connection between elliptic curves and modular forms Module, in connection with modular decomposition of a graph, a kind of generalisation of graph components Modularity (networks), a benefit function that measures the quality of a division of a Complex network into communities Protein module or protein domain, a section of a protein with its own distinct conformation, often conserved in evolution A cis-regulatory module, a stretch of DNA containing a number of genes that share joint regulation by the same transcription factors == Music == Module (musician), the solo project of New Zealand-based musician/producer Jeramiah Ross Module file, a family of music file formats Modular Recordings, a record label Modular synthesizer, a type of electronic musical instrument Sound module, electronic musical instrument without a human-playable interface == Other uses == Modular building: prefabricated building that consists of repeated sections called modules, used as house or other, some of them open source, in this case, open source hardware.
