In the late 1960s Auslander and Bridger [2] introduced a notion of approximation which they used to prove that every module whose n syzygy is n-torsionfree can be described as the quotient of an n-spherical module by a submodule of projective dimension less than n. About two decades later Auslander and Buchweitz [3] introduced the notion of Cohen-Macaulay approximation which they used to show t...

Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. There is variety of nice results about approximately Cohen-Macaulay rings. These were done by Goto. In this paper we prove some these for modules and generalize the concept rings to modules. It seen that when $M$ an module, any proper ideal $I$ have $grade(I,M) \geq \dim_R M -\dim_R M/IM -1$. Specially $R$ itself, obtain interval $gr...
