<p>If there are three arguments, a ring <var class="Arg">R</var> and a collection <var class="Arg">gens</var> and an element <var class="Arg">zero</var>, then <code class="code">FreeLeftModule( <var class="Arg">R</var>, <var class="Arg">gens</var>, <var class="Arg">zero</var> )</code> is the <var class="Arg">R</var>-free left module generated by <var class="Arg">gens</var>, with zero element <var class="Arg">zero</var>.</p>

<p>It should be noted that the generators <var class="Arg">gens</var> must be vectors, that is, they must support an addition and a scalar action of <var class="Arg">R</var> via left multiplication.

Such a construction seems to be unnecessary for vector spaces, for that one can use for example row spaces (see <code class="func">FullRowSpace</code> (<a href="chap61.html#X80209A8785126AAB"><span class="RefLink">61.9-4</span></a>)) in the finite dimensional case and polynomial rings (see <code class="func">PolynomialRing</code> (<a href="chap66.html#X7D2F16E480060330"><span class="RefLink">66.15-1</span></a>)) in the infinite dimensional case. Moreover, the definition of a "natural" addition for elements of a given magma (for example a permutation group) is possible via the construction of magma rings (see Chapter <a href="chap65.html#X825897DC7A16E07D"><span class="RefLink">65</span></a>).</p>
