A division algebra $D$ is a vector spaces over a field $F$ equipped with a bilinear product and a multiplicative neutral element $1$. All the non-zero elements of $D$ have a multiplicative inverse. Associativity is often assumed but not always. Any field is a commutative, associative division algebra. A skewfield = a division ring is always a division algebra over its center. The quaternions form the best known non-commutative division algebra.
