Complex and hypercomplex numbers

Complex numbers proved to be a useful extension of real numbers in many questions of algebra, analysis and geometry. There are many other extensions: dual numbers, double numbers, quaternions, octonions and Clifford algebras. All of them have many interesting properties and provide new insights to many mathematical problems.
