Abstract
In this chapter, we define the Alexander module and the link module of a link and show how to calculate them by Fox’s free differential calculus. Then we define the (multi-variable) graded Alexander polynomials to be the characteristic polynomials of these modules and explain the Torres conditions, which the (0-th) Alexander polynomial satisfies.
