Do you know about the new website for mathematicians? It's called mathoverflow, and was released less than a month ago. It's accessible mostly to people who have at least started math grad school (indeed having recently acquired that status, I only understand about a quarter of the questions in my field), but the idea is to post questions that should be interesting to other mathematicians, or to answer them. Read the FAQ and join. Or have you already?

Hi everyone,

I am seeking any reference material that eventually explains Hopf algebras. Really, I'd take anything that does a good job at explaining related topics starting with the definition of a module. I need something designed for a non-specialist.

Thanks in advance.
