A projective resolution of an object in a category is an exact sequence of projective objects that approximates the object and allows us to study its properties. This concept is crucial for understanding the Tor functor, as projective resolutions facilitate the computation of Tor groups by providing a means to replace an object with a more manageable projective object, thus simplifying homological calculations.
congrats on reading the definition of Projective Resolutions. now let's actually learn it.
