first of all, i don't know if this is the correct place to post this topic, if no tell me.

My question is, i have a definition of derivative that can not be applied to a noncommutative space. How i can define a derivative in a noncommutative space?

thank you.

What is an example of a "noncommutative space" where you wish to do this?

k-poincarè... [X_i,X_j]=\theta_{ijk}X_k
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
