In this dissertation the Hochschild and cyclic homology of certain algebras are studied. More precisely, if \(k\) is a field, \(X\) and \(Y\) sets, consider the non-commutative \(k\)-algebra \(R=k\langle X,Y,Y^{-1}\rangle\). Suppose \(I=RwR\) is a two-sided principal ideal in \(R\) such that the enveloping algebra of \(A=R/I\) has no zero-divisors. Then the \(A\)-bimodule map \(I^n/I^{n+1}\to A^{\otimes_k(n+1)}\) sending \(x_0wx_1w\dots wx_n+I^{n+1}\) to \(\overline{x_0}\otimes\dots\overline{x_n}\) is an isomorphism. Using the Cuntz-Quillen formalism, the author shows that the Hochschild homology of \(A\) vanishes in degree greater than \(2\). Calculations in some examples are included and also an alternative approach to the main result using a concrete free resolution.
