      3     Noncommutative geometry is a branch of mathematics that has deep
      4     connections to applications in physics. From reconstructing the theory of
      5     electrodynamics with minimal coupling to gravity, to deriving the full
      6     Lagrangian of the standard model and predicting the Higgs mass.  One of
      7     the reasons for this is the natural existence of a nontrivial gauge group
      8     of a mathematical structure called the spectral triple, which encodes
      9     (classical) geometrical data intro algebraic data. Altogether this thesis
     10     is based on literature work, mostly from Walter D. Suijlekom's book
     11     `\textit{Noncommutative Geometry and Particle Physics}' \cite{ncgwalter}.
     12     We summarize enough information to both establish the basic backbone of
     13     noncommutative geometry and to further out derive the Lagrangian of
     14     electrodynamics.
