Aug 24, 2012 at 1:50 comment added Charles Staats As an additional note, the definition Matsumura gives in Commutative Ring Theory (a different book from Commutative Algebra) agrees with the Atiyah-Macdonald definition. That these two definitions are not equivalent, even for a noetherian base ring, can be seen by considering the $\mathbb Z$-module $\bigoplus_n \mathbb Z / p^n$, which is coprimary only by the weaker definition.
Aug 24, 2012 at 1:45 comment added Charles Staats Personally, I think the notion of "coprimary module" is more important than the notion of "primary submodule." For non-finitely-generated modules over noetherian rings, the right notion of coprimary seems to be that $M$ is coprimary if it has exactly one associated prime. (This gets used in classifying injective modules.) $N \subset M$ is primary if $M/N$ is coprimary. By this definition, a module is coprimary iff all of its finitely generated submodules are; consequently, it agrees with the definition from Matsumura's Commutative Algebra.
