Here, the eminent algebraist, Nathan Jacobsen, concentrates on
those algebras that have an involution. Although they appear in
many contexts, these algebras first arose in the study of the
so-called "multiplication algebras of Riemann matrices". Of
particular interest are the Jordan algebras determined by such
algebras, and thus their structure is discussed in detail. Two
important concepts also dealt with are the universal enveloping
algebras and the reduced norm. However, the largest part of the
book is the fifth chapter, which focuses on involutorial simple
algebras of finite dimension over a field.
