Abstract

Abstract Algebra is a branch of mathematics in which a large amount of research is currently taking place. This research includes the investigation into different types of algebraic structures such as fields, rings, groups, and their properties. The history of algebra is as rich as the science itself. It is my intention to investigate a crucial step in the development of algebra: the beginning of noncommutative algebra.
