Noncommutative geometry: History & Products

Noncommutative geometry (NCG) is a branch of mathematics that studies geometric ideas through noncommutative algebras. In ordinary geometry, a space can often be studied by means of a commutative algebra of functions on it; noncommutative geometry extends this viewpoint to algebras in which the product of two elements need not commute. Such algebras are…
