Drinking Chinese green tea, Lao Luo introduced Computational Algebra to me. It was the first time I had heard of the notion of a Gro¨bner basis. Soon after our meeting, Lao Luo sent me some basic material on commutative computational algebra and a tutorial book introducing Macaulay that enabled me to start my computational algebra seminar combined with my elementary algebraic geometry course given at the Shaanxi Normal University in the spring of 1996. Without this unforgettable story, I would not have had the idea of working on the algebraic-algorithmic aspect. Thank you, Lao Luo. I wish to express my thanks to the referees for their valuable remarks on im- proving the notes. IamgratefultotheLNMeditorsfortheirhelpfulsuggestionswhileIwasprepar- ing the manuscript.

It is equally well-known that Buchberger’s algorithm has been generalized to the noncommutative area via noncommutative Gr¨obner bases in various contexts, for instance, • theGro¨bnerbasesforone-sidedidealsinalgebrasoflinearpartialdifferential operatorswithpolynomialcoefficients(orWeylalgebras)introducedin([Gal] 1985), the Gro¨bner bases for one-sided ideals in the enveloping algebras of finitedimensionalLiealgebrasintroducedin([AL]1988),andmoregenerally, theGro¨bnerbasistheorydevelopedin([K-RW]1990)foralargeclassofnon- commutative polynomial-like algebras, i.e., the class of solvable polynomial algebras, • the Gro¨bner basis theory for two-sided ideals in a noncommutative free alge- bra developed in ([Berg] 1978) and in ([Mor1-2] 1986, 1994), • and the Gro¨bner basis theory introduced in ([Gr] 1993) for two-sided ideals inanalgebrawhichpossiblyhasnoidentitybutpossiblyhasdivisorsofzero.
