``Re: algebra or ring'' by CWoo on 2004-10-17 19:31:00
You should be careful when using the phrase "nonassociative ring" since it implies the exclusion of any "associative" ring, unless this is exactly your intent. I prefer the naming of a "generalized ring" to include both the traditional "associative" rings as well as the nonassociative ones. I am not aware of any other naming convention for a "generalized" ring in the mathematical community.

But to avoid any more confusion, please add an entry and let's go from there.
