  2. Magic square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_square

    The smallest (and unique up to rotation and reflection) non-trivial case of a magic square, order 3. In mathematics, especially historical and recreational mathematics, a square array of numbers, usually positive integers, is called a magic square if the sums of the numbers in each row, each column, and both main diagonals are the same.

    Bernard Frénicle de Bessy (c. 1604 – 1674), was a French mathematician born in Paris, who wrote numerous mathematical papers, mainly in number theory and combinatorics.He is best remembered for Des quarrez ou tables magiques, a treatise on magic squares published posthumously in 1693, in which he described all 880 essentially different normal magic squares of order 4.

  4. D. R. Kaprekar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._R._Kaprekar

    He also constructed certain types of magic squares related to the Copernicus magic square. [5] Initially his ideas were not taken seriously by Indian mathematicians, and his results were published largely in low-level mathematics journals or privately published, but international fame arrived when Martin Gardner wrote about Kaprekar in his ...

  5. Recreational mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_mathematics

    Some of the more well-known topics in recreational mathematics are Rubik's Cubes, magic squares, fractals, logic puzzles and mathematical chess problems, but this area of mathematics includes the aesthetics and culture of mathematics, peculiar or amusing stories and coincidences about mathematics, and the personal lives of mathematicians.

    The earliest known magic squares of order greater than three are attributed to Yang Hui (fl. ca. 1261–1275), who worked with magic squares of order as high as ten. [47] "The same "Horner" device was used by Yang Hui, about whose life almost nothing is known and who work has survived only in part.

  7. Luoshu Square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luoshu_Square

    Early records dated to 650 BCE are ambiguous, referring to a "river map", but clearly start to refer to a magic square by 80 CE, and explicitly give an example of one since 570 CE. [2] [3] Recent publications have provided support that the Lo Shu Magic Square was an important model for time and space.

  8. Lee Sallows - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Sallows

    Sallows is an expert on the theory of magic squares [1] and has invented several variations on them, including alphamagic squares [2] [3] and geomagic squares. [4] The latter invention caught the attention of mathematician Peter Cameron who has said that he believes that "an even deeper structure may lie hidden beyond geomagic squares" [5]

  9. Magic circle (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_circle_(mathematics)

    A magic circle can be derived from one or more magic squares by putting a number at each intersection of a circle and a spoke. Additional spokes can be added by replicating the columns of the magic square. In the example in the figure, the following 4 × 4 most-perfect magic square was copied into the upper part of the magic circle. Each number ...
