	Quaternion
		The algebra of quaternions is often denoted by H (for Hamilton), or in flboard bold by
		The algebra H holds a special place in analysis since, according to the Frobenius theorem, it is one of only three finite-dimensional division rings containing the real numbers as a subring.
		The division of a quaternion by a scalar is equivalent to multiplication by the scalar inverse, such that each element of the quaternion is divided by the divisor.

	Division
		Division can be calculated with an abacus by repeatedly placing the dividend on the abacus, and then subtracting the divisor the offset of each digit in the result, counting the number of divisions possible at each offset.
		Division of integers is not closed; apart from division by zero being undefined, the quotient will not be an integer unless the dividend is an integer multiple of the divisor; for example 26 cannot be divided by 10 to give an integer.
		In abstract algebras such as matrix algebras and quaternion algebras, fractions such as are typically defined as or where is presumed to be an invertible element (i.e.

	Octonion Summary
		Division algebra is a type of algebra in which every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse but where multiplication is non-commutative, that is x * y y * x.
		This was a time when the scope of algebra was expanded and not limited to ordinary systems of numbers alone and one of the most important developments was the formulation of non-commutative algebras, those in which the operation of multiplication is not required to be commutative.
		It is a division algebra in which there is an eight-square identity and the elements are called Cayley numbers or octonions.

	What IS a Jordan Algebra?
		To construct a Jordan Algebra: Start with n x n matrices A and B, with entries that are elements of one of the division algebras over the reals: the real numbers; the complex numbers; the quaternions; or the octonions.
		The Jordan algebras correspond to the matrix algebra of quantum mechanical states, that is, from a particle physics point of view, the configuration of particles in spacetime upon which the gauge groups act.
		For the octonion non-associative division algebra, the largest matrices that form a Jordan algebra are 3x3, forming the 27-dimensional exceptional Jordan algebra J3(O), which represents the 27-dimensional MacroSpace of the D4-D5-E6-E7-E8 VoDou physics model.
