For a nonzero element f in an algebra S over a principal ideal domain R that is finite and free as an R-module, the norm of f relative to R is associated to the product of the Smith coefficients of the ideal generated by f.

For a nonzero element f in a F[X]-module S, the dimension of $S/\langle f \rangle$ as an F-vector space is the degree of the norm of f relative to F[X].
