Right module ($M_R$)

A right module over a unital ring $R$ is an abelian group $M$ with an additive scalar action on the right satisfying $(mr)s=m(rs)$, $m(r+s)=mr+ms$ and $m1=m$. The order of multiplication matters for a noncommutative ring. Equivalently it is a left module over the opposite ring. Row vectors acted on by matrices on the right give a basic example.
