Title: Introduction to quandle rings
Abstract: Quandles are sets with binary operations motivated by knot theory. In order to bring algebraic techniques to the study of quandle,
it is natural to consider quandle rings. We will discuss some of their properties. It turned out that, in general, quandle rings are non-associative algebraic structures (not even power associative). We will also discuss idempotents in quandle rings and state some open questions.
