Quandles and colagebras

After examining how to obtain a solution to the Yang-Baxter equation and quandle structure from a Lie algebra, we discuss how to formulate similar structures in other algebraic settings. In particular, we will focus on quandles coming from coalgebras and Hopf algebras, and understand when such structures provide a solution of the Yang-Baxter equation.
