The trace form of S is computed and it is shown how this form can be used to determine whether S is a division algebra or not. In addition, the exterior powers of the trace form of S are computed.engPreprint of an article submitted for consideration in Algebra Colloquium (2012) Vol. 19, © 2012 World Scientific Publishing Company, http://www.worldscientific.com/doi/abs/10.1142/S1005386712000892Symbol algebrasTrace formsTrace forms of symbol algebras (Pre-published version)Articlehttp://www.worldscientific.com/doi/abs/10.1142/S1005386712000892
