Topics on Noncummutative Algebra
# Video:
https://youtu.be/MAL6rz3FyVw
In this video I talk about the Book
"Topics in Noncommutative Algebra - The Theorems of Campell, Baker, Hausdorff and Dynkin"
by Andrea Bonfilio and Roberta Fulci.
I tease some of my motivation with the topic by starting out ranting about differential equation and exponential growth,
such as seen in baceria growth or virus outbreaks.
