Reducing a module modulo an element of the ring #
Given a commutative ring R
and an element r : R
, the association
M ↦ M ⧸ rM
extends to a functor on the category of R
-modules. This functor
is isomorphic to the functor of tensoring by R ⧸ (r)
on either side, but can
be more convenient to work with since we can work with quotient types instead
of fiddling with simple tensors.

module, commutative algebra
An abbreviation for M⧸rM
that keeps us from having to write
(⊤ : Submodule R M)
over and over to satisfy the typechecker.

be a commutative ring, M
be an R
-module, S
be an R
-algebra, then
