Provides a comprehensive introduction to module theory and the related part of ring theory, including original results as well as more recent work. The text starts from a basic understanding of linear algebra, the theory is presented, accompanied by proofs.

After describing the module-theoretic aspects of coalgebras over commutative rings, this volume defines corings as coalgebras for non-commutative rings. Topics covered include module-theoretic aspects of corings (such as the relation of comodules to special subcategories of modules: sigma-type categories); connections between corings and extensions of rings; properties of new examples of corings associated to entwining structures; generalizations of bialgebras such as bialgebroids and weak bialgebras; and the appearance of corings in non-commutative geometry.
