Let $k$ be a field. Unless stated otherwise, we will always assume that $k$ is algebraically closed, i.e., any nonconstant polynomial with coefficients in $k$ has a root in $k$. […] 4. The free algebra $A=k\langle x_1,\ldots,x_n\rangle$. A basis of this algebra consists of words in letters $x_1,\ldots,x_n$, and multiplication in this basis is simply the concatenation of words. […] The following two examples are among the simplest interesting examples of noncommutative associative algebras: (1) the Weyl algebra, $k\langle x,y\rangle/\langle yx-xy-1\rangle$;
