    What Defines the Smallest Submodule of a Module Containing a Given Subset?

    Homework Statement Let S = \{v_{},...,v_{n}\} be a subset of a module M. Prove that N = <<S>> = \{r_{1}v_{1} + ... + r_{n}v_{n} | r_{i} \in R, v_{i} \in S\} is the smallest submodule of M containing S. First you will need to formulate precisely what it means to be the smallest submodule...
