Concept of direct limit

176 Views Asked by At

So I was going through exercise of Atiyah McDonald. And there they introduced concept of direct limit of modules,at first I really understood nothing. But upon searching further I came up with general definitions of direct limits. Although still now I really have so many questions left. It will be great if anyone can explain to me or can suggest me good article on direct limit. And another question is, why this is called direct limit. I mean is there any similarities between the standard definition th at we use of limit to this one. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
