title: Generating set of a module
text: In mathematics, a generating set Γ of a module M over a ring R is a subset of M such that the smallest submodule of M containing Γ is M itself. The set Γ is then said to generate M. For example, the ring R is generated by the identity element 1 as a left R-module over itself. If there is a finite generating set, then a module is said to be finitely generated. This applies to ideals, which are the submodules of the ring itself. In particular, a principal ideal is an ideal that has a generating se
