This property is so ingrained in our experience that it becomes difficult to imagine how algebra would function without it! If the commutative property fails, we step into the territory of noncommutative algebra. Where and why does noncommutative algebra occur? How different is it from our ordinary commutative algebra? This talk will be an introduction to noncommutative algebra, with several examples and a glimpse into current research problems.<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio:\u00a0<\/strong><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Manny Reyes is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at UC Irvine. His research lies at the intersection of several topics including ring theory, noncommutative geometry, category theory, and quantum foundations. After studying at Westmont College and UC Berkeley, he was a postdoctoral fellow at UC San Diego and a faculty member for several years at Bowdoin College before returning to California. He strives to teach in a way that invites anyone to discover a passion for mathematics, regardless of their past experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4084 img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/ccms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/DSC_9424-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/ccms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/DSC_9424-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/ccms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/DSC_9424-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/ccms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/DSC_9424-126x90.jpg 126w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/ccms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/DSC_9424-126x90@2x.jpg 252w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/ccms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/DSC_9424.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Manuel Reyes (UCI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[12],"class_list":["post-3957","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tribe_events_cat-colloquium","cat_colloquium"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
