Friday:

"Bilinearity" is only a good notion for commutative rings, and is then closely related to tensor products.

How to show a tensor product is big or small.

If R,S are k-algebras, and A,B are modules over them, then A @k B is a module over R @k S.
In the R=S case, sometimes there are interesting "comultiplications" R -> R @k R.

Def. Symmetric algebra, group algebra, monoid algebra.

The co-commutative comultiplication on a monoid algebra.
