Description: Accosiative rings and algebras are very interesting algebraic
structures. In a strict sense, the theory of algebras (in
particular, noncommutative algebras) originated

low-dimensional algebras, division algebras, and commutative
algebras, were classi?ed and characterized. The ?rst complete
