Let \(k\) be a field of characteristic zero and \(I\) an ideal in the polynomial algebra \(A=k[X_1,\dots,X_n]\). The multiplicity \(e(M)\) of the \(A\)-module \(M=A/I\) is the number \(e(M)=d!a_d\) where \(a_d\) is the leading coefficient of the affine Hilbert polynomial of \(M\). Using the theory of Gröbner bases the authors show that \(e(M)\) can be easily calculated directly without computing the Hilbert polynomial itself. A similar result is obtaind for a cyclic module \(M\simeq A_n(k)/L\) over the Weyl algebra \(A_n(k)\), where \(L\) is a left ideal in \(A_n(k)\). The authors consider graded algebras \(G(A_n(k))\), \(G(L)\) associated with the Bernstein filtration in \(A_n(k)\). The Hilbert polynomial for \(M\) is defined via the graded module \(G(M)=G(A_n(k))/G(L)\). In the final section it is shown that if \(M_1,M_2\) are cyclic modules over \(A_n(k)\), \(A_m(k)\), respectively, then \(e(M_1\otimes M_2)=e(M_1)e(M_2)\).
