ive never seen any use for split complex numbers, but its not just j = 1, you can think of its as j = +-1

It's j2 = -1 you doofus.

He's talking about the split complex numbers, though, not the quaternions or octonions.

Makes me interested in R[X,Y] with X^2-1 and Y^2+1 factored out.
Anybody know more about that one?
And that's the same as C[X]/(X^2-1), right?
