Re: Why is there no *really* useful Algebra beyond complex numbers?

Guess that really depends on what you mean by 'useful'. As far as we
know Quaternions are more applicable to the real world then other
simpler algebras and we simply haven't unraveled the mysteries of the
universe as presisely as we think.
