• A ring is non-commutative if multiplication is not necessarily commutative.

  • The set of all endomorphisms of an Abelian Group forms a ring where addition is homomorphism addition and multiplication is homomorphism composition

    We call this ring the Endomorphism Ring.

    An Endomorphism ring need not be commutative.

  • A Group Ring is not necessarily commutative. In fact if is not Abelian, then the group ring is not commutative.

  • The Quaternions give a noncommutative division ring under addition and multiplication.

    In fact (Fraleigh 24.9) They form a strictly skew field
