Abstract: This talk will give a glimpse of some of the ideas and motivations underlying the new, so called, ``noncommutative geometry.'' We will begin with familiar objects from calculus (such as ellipses and parabolas), and proceed from there to ``quantizations of the plane'' and (perhaps) beyond.
