What are...Kac-Moody algebras?

Goal.
I would like to tell you a bit about my favorite theorems, ideas or concepts in mathematics and why I like them so much.

This time.
What are...Kac-Moody algebras? Or: Emerging from matrices.

Disclaimer.
Nobody is perfect, and I might have said something silly. If there is any doubt, then please check the references.
