    Rewriting to prioritize a more standard definition of “division algebra,” while preserving the material and citation to Baez’s less standard version.

    Thanks!

    I have added the whitespace that is necessary for products to be rendered properly (as we discussed in the other thread, here).

    I have also added hyperlinking to more keywords, such as octonions, sedenions, etc. and, last not least, to normed division algebra.

    And I have made the reference to the literature an actual hyperlinking to the bib-item. You can see in the source code how this works.

    I seem to recall that we have an entry with technical comments on the Hurwitz theorem in view of the infinite-dimensional generalization, but I can’t find it and so maybe I am misremembering.
