See Karen Parshall (1985) for a detailed exposition of the heyday of hypercomplex numbers, including the role of such luminaries as Theodor Molien and Eduard Study.

In 1995 Ian R. Porteous wrote on "The recognition of subalgebras" in his book on Clifford algebras.


Charles Musès

Muses also envisioned a mathematical number concept, Musean hypernumbers, that includes hypercomplex number algebras such as complex numbers and split-complex numbers as primitive types.
