Extractions: new recent what is this? what is this? Authors: J. M. Landsberg L. Manivel (Submitted on 10 Aug 1999) Abstract: We connect the algebraic geometry and representation theory associated to Freudenthal's magic square. We give unified geometric descriptions of several classes of orbit closures, describing their hyperplane sections and desingularizations, and interpreting them in terms of composition algebras. In particular, we show how a class of invariant quartic polynomials can be viewed as generalizations of the classical discriminant of a cubic polynomial.

Ivars Peterson's MathTrek: More Than Magic Squares
Introduction with reference to Victor Hill and Bach.
http://www.maa.org/mathland/mathland_10_14.html

Extractions: Ivars Peterson's MathTrek October 14, 1996 "In my younger days, having once some leisure (which I still think I might have employed more usefully), I had amused myself in making . . . magic squares." Benjamin Franklin, who made this comment in a letter written more than 200 years ago, was certainly not the first to experience the fascination of magic squares. People have been toying with these number patterns for more than 2,000 years. Typically, a magic square consists of a set of integers arranged in the form of a square so that the sum of the numbers in each row, each column, and each diagonal add up to the same total. If the integers are consecutive numbers from 1 to n ^2, the square is said to be of n th order. Here's an example of a magic square of the fourth order, made up of the first 16 integers. The sum of the numbers in each row, column, and diagonal is 34. There are 880 possible magic squares of the fourth order, not counting reflections or rotations of each pattern. One of the most remarkable of these squares is one that dates back to India in the eleventh or twelfth century. Notice that not only the rows, columns, and diagonals add up to 34 but also the corner 2 x 2 subsquares. And there's more! The four corner numbers add up to 34, as do the four numbers in the center. Other subsquares (such as 3 + 10 + 6 + 15) give the same result. It's also possible to find "split" subsquares and "split" diagonals that work: 7 + 2 + 14 + 11, and so on. In fact, there is an astonishing number of different ways to get the sum 34 out of this particular magic square.

The resulting waveform thus is a train of square pulses followed by a constant off-period.

Now try to place the numbers 1 through 9 into the squares in such a way that all columns, all rows and both diagonals add up to the same amount. The result is known as a magic square In general, a magic square is an n x n matrix of numbers where each row, each column and both diagonals add up to n n The simplest magic square is the 1 by 1. This is simply a 1. There are no 2 by 2 magic squares, but there are for 3 by 3, 4 by 4, 5 by 5, and so on. For example, all the magic squares of size 3 by 3 are shown below: Notice that all of these squares can be obtained from the first one through flips and turns (rotations) of the first magic square. AMOF will only generate one of these 8 squares. Magic Squares are claimed to go back as far as 2200 BC when the Chinese called them lo-shu. According to legend, the pattern was first revealed on the shell of a turtle that crawled out of the Lo River in the twenty-third century B.C. Here is the lo-shu magic square: The first indication of any mathematical investigation into magic squares was from Cornelius Agrippa. In the early part of the 15th century in Europe, he constructed magic squares from orders 3 to 9. He associated these squares with the planets then known, including the sun and moon.

Extractions: Click here for the BRAND NEW Franklin Mathematics Page! Here are Ben Franklin's two famous magic squares which (together with their lesser-known counterparts) are discussed in my paper "The Lost Squares of Dr. Franklin," American Mathematical Monthly , June-July 2001. An entirely different approach is described in my new book on Franklin, due out soon! A hint can be found in "A Bent For Magic," Mathematics Magazine , Feb. 2006. Instead of requiring diagonal sums to be constant (as in a fully magic square), Franklin used "bent rows" such as those highlighted below. The construction I will give owes much to the various papers which attempted to decode Franklin's method [Carus 1906, Marder 1940, Chandler 1951, Patel 1991]. However, these approaches were not concerned with his actual motivation for performing each step. The recipe given below includes speculation on why these particular steps were chosen. Abrahams 1994] and does not appear to give any idea of Franklin's original reasoning. It is important to keep in mind that the author of the squares was unschooled in number theory.

Recmath Home Page - Magic Squares, Polyominos, Puzzles And Projection Patterns
Includes pages on magic squares and polyomino patterns and contains related java applets.
http://www3.sympatico.ca/diharper/

Extractions: These pages contain some Recreational Mathematics (Recmath) material with a focus on pattern and symmetry. The approach is a bit rambling and definitely short on analysis and proof. Hopefully the visual content makes up for some of the other shortcomings. There are currently five sections, the first of which explores patterns generated when the numbers in a magic square are replaced with a set of geometric shapes. The second section looks at patterns associated with polyominoes when information about the way the polyomino's squares are connected is added. The third section contains some projection (perspective) drawings of collections of cubes and also describes the underlying programming tools used to display the drawings on the web page. The fourth section looks at a link between order five magic squares and polyominoes. Some pictures of integers as set constructions are in the fifth section. The old URL for these pages (from a previous ISP) was web.idirect.com/~recmath.
Ruby Quiz - Magic Squares (#124)
A magic square of size N is a square with the numbers from 1 to N ** 2 arranged so that each row, column, and the two long diagonals have the same sum.
http://www.rubyquiz.com/quiz124.html

Extractions: In this case the magic sum is 65. All rows, columns, and both diagonals add up to that. This week's Ruby Quiz is to write a program that builds magic squares. To keep the problem easy, I will say that your program only needs to work for odd values of N. Try to keep your runtimes pretty reasonable even for the bigger values of N: $ time ruby magic_square.rb 9 sys 0m0.006s For extra credit, support even values of N. You don't need to worry about N = 2 though as it is impossible. Quiz Summary I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people that tackled the extra credit this time around. Essentially, there are different algorithms for building magic squares depending on the size of the square. There are in fact three different algorithms: one for odd sizes, one for doubly even (divisible by 4) sizes, and another for singly even (divisible by 2 but not 4) sizes. One solution that did handle all three cases came from David Tran. Let's dive right into how David constructs the squares:
Magic Rectangles
Presents 2xn and 3xn rectangles, as well as squares of order 4,5 and 8. Generation of the last by knight s tour.
http://www.gpj.connectfree.co.uk/mrm.htm

Extractions: The basic problem is: To arrange the numbers 1 to mn in an array of m ranks and n files so that each rank adds to the same total M and each file to the same total N. The totals M and N are termed the magic constants . Since the average value of the numbers is A = (mn + 1)/2, we must have M = nA and N = mA. The total of all the numbers in the array is mnA = mM = nN. If mn is even mn + 1 is odd and so for M = n(mn + 1)/2 and N = m(mn + 1)/2 to be whole numbers n and m must both be even. On the other hand if mn is odd then m and n must both be odd, by simple arithmetic. Therefore: An odd by even magic rectangle is impossible. When m = n we have a magic square diagonal magic squares. For some values of n it is also possible to construct pandiagonal magic squares in which the shorter diagonals are joined up in pairs to make broken diagonals each with n numbers like the main diagonals and also adding to the magic constant. A rectangle in which only the ranks but not the files, or only the files but not the ranks, add to a constant value are naturally termed semimagic Note: some writers on "magic squares" use the term to mean diagonal magic squares, and they sometimes refer to squares that do not have the diagonals magic as "semimagic". These usages should be avoided since the above definitions are more generally applicable.
