Kinds of Algebras and Examples
Algebras over fields come in many different types. These types are specified by insisting on some further axioms, such as commutativity or associativity of the multiplication operation, which are not required in the broad definition of an algebra. The theories corresponding to the different types of algebras are often very different.

Famous quotes containing the words kinds of, kinds and/or examples:
“There are only three kinds of people: those who serve God, having found him; others who are occupied in seeking him, not having found him; while the remainder live without seeking him and without having found him. The first are reasonable and happy; the last are foolish and unhappy; those between are unhappy and unreasonable.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude. It can be in a crowd, but in an oblivious crowd.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
