Quaternions and Octonions are four- and eight- dimensional extensions of the complex numbers. They are normed division algebras over the real numbers and find applications in spatial rotations (quaternions), and string theory and relativity (octonions). The quaternions are noncommutative and the octonions nonassociative. See the package vignette for more details.
