OCTONIONS AND ROTATIONS

There are four division algebras namely, real numbers, complex numbers, quaternions and octonions. They can be used to represent a number of orthogonal groups. In particular, the groups SO(3) and SO(4) of rotations of 3- and 4-dimensional spaces, respectively, can be described in terms of quaterni...
