Let $R$ be a ring with multiplicative identity. Let $M$ be a (\PMlinkescapeword{right}) module over $R$. We may assume there exists an exact sequence $C_*$: Let $R$ be a ring with multiplicative identity. Let $M$ be a (right) module over R. We may assume there exists an exact sequence $C_*$:

with the $P_n$ projective and the cokernel of the last map $M$. Given $M$, this sequence is unique up to chain homotopy. Hence we may make the following definitions. with the $P_n$ projective and the cokernel of the last map $M$. Given $M$, this sequence is unique up to chain homotopy.
