On certain identities in symmetric compositions

We give in this paper a computational approach to the verification of identities in symmetric compositions. We also show how to use rules and patterns in noncommutative and nonassociative algebras. It is also presented an implementation for linearization of identities. All the advantages and benefits of working with rules, patterns and functional programming at the same time will be pointed out. We have also included, as a previous section, a practical description of a package with all the necessary instructions for checking identities in para-octonions and pseudo-octononions algebras. This is a natural first step before working with general rings.
