This lecture is part of an online course on commutative algebra, following the book
"Commutative algebra with a view toward algebraic geometry" by David Eisenbud.

In this lecture we construct the localization R[S^-1] of a ring with respect to a multiplicative subset S, and give some examples such as the total quotient ring and the localization with respect to a prime ideal. 
Reading: Section 2.1
