phi ** C
tensor(phi, C)
S ** C
C ** S
These methods implement the base change of rings. As input, one can either give a ring map $\phi$, or the ring $S$ (when there is a canonical map from $R$ to $S$).
We illustrate the tensor product of a complex along a ring map.

If a ring is used rather than a ring map, then the implicit map from the underlying ring of the complex to the given ring is used.

The commutativity of tensor product is witnessed as follows.

|
When the modules in the complex are not free modules, this is different than the image of a complex under a ring map.

When the ring map doesn't preserve homogeneity, the DegreeMap option is needed to determine the degrees of the image free modules in the complex.
