- This book has been written about associative algebras. However, there is an analogous “PI-theory” that can be carried out for nonassociative rings, which is outlined here.

- Two important functions in nonassociative ring theory are the commutator and associator which, for elements a, b, c in a ring are defined respectively by
- [a, b] = ab − ba
- and
- [a, b, c] = a(bc) − (ab)c.
