Abstract

The purpose of this work is twofold: to provide an introduction for readers unfamiliar with the algebraic theory of forms quadratics over fields (ATQF) and, subsequently, with the referent constructed in the ATQF, to introduce the algebraic theory of hermitian forms with coefficients in associative algebras equipped with an involution (ATHF).
