Mathematicians seem to find practical to use "algebra" in several distinct meanings, which are more or less obvious to guess according to the context, when they are not specified. In practice, it is very common that people deal with together both associative unital algebras and Lie algebras, and call the first simply "algebras" and the second "Lie algebras" (e.g., search stuff about universal enveloping algebras, since it relates the two). | |
