Modularity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Modularity can refer to one of the following things:
- In biology, modularity (biology) refers to the concept that organisms or metabolic pathways are composed of modules.
- In mathematics, the modularity theorem (formerly the Taniyama–Shimura–Weil conjecture) establishes a connection between elliptic curves and modular forms.
- In mathematics, modular lattices are partially ordered sets satisfying certain axioms
- In cognitive science, the modularity of mind refers to the idea that the mind is composed of independent, closed, domain-specific processing modules.
- Specifically, see visual modularity, for an article relating to the various putative visual modules.
- Specifically, see language module, for an article relating to the putative language module.
- Modular design, an engineering technique that builds larger systems by combining smaller subsystems
- Modular programming, modular design as applied to software
