In constrast, the quaternions and especially the octonions are sadly neglected, so the authors rightly concentrate on these.
The quaternions, which in the late 1800's were a mandatory examination topic in Dublin and the only advanced mathematics taught in some American universities, have now sunk into obscurity.

There are two ways to approach quaternions as an integer-like ring.
The other is the "Hurwitz" domain, consisting of both quaternions with integer components _and_ quaternions with exclusively half-integer components.
The definitive source on quaternionic number theory is Adolf Hurwitz's _Vorlesungen "Uber die Zahlentheorie der Quaternionen", which has unfortunately never been translated.

While the objects taking center stage are unapologetically algebraic (and why, pray tell, should any one need to apologize for algebra?!), there is a great deal of geometry in it, as well as connections with number theory.
They constitute an 8-dimensional composition algebra (page 5) which is in fact the largest player in Hurwitz' classification of such algebras which (zowie!) we get only in dimensions 1, 2, 4, and 8; yes, of course, the dimension 4 case is the quaternions.

 Thompson_Robert biography
For example, he published nine papers on Principal submatrices in which he conducted a deep investigation of interlacing properties relating the eigenvalues of a matrix to the eigenvalues of a principal submatrix.
[Thompson's] purpose in this paper is to develop the theory of unimodular equivalence for matrices whose entries come from the Hurwitz ring of integral quaternions.
This is done in complete detail, and a normal form is obtained which exhibits as much uniqueness as is possible for the case of a noncommutative ring.
