Non commutative geometry for outsiders; an elementary introduction to motivations and tools

Abstract

Since the subject of noncommutative geometry is now entering maturity, we felt there is need for presentation of the material at an undergraduate course level. Our review is a zero order approximation to this project. Thus, the present paper attempts to offer some motivations and mathematical prerequisites for a deeper study or at least to serve as support in glancing at recent results in theoretical physics.
