The aim of the paper is to characterize inner product spaces as those in which the square of the norm satisfies some functional equations. The author considers five such equations. Actually, the equations are solved in general, and in some important cases it is noticed that their only solutions are quadratic functionals (i.e. functionals satisfying the Jordan-von Neumann identity).
