Extractions: Tui has really begun to get the idea of magic squares. She decided to make all of the magic squares that she could using the fractions 7/6, 4/3 3/2. How many can she make? It took her quite a while because she didnt know that the sum of a magic square was always three times the number in the centre. What is the problem about? First of all, if the class hasnt heard of magic squares, then you may need to tell them that a magic square is an arrangement like the one below where the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines of numbers all add up to the same value. This same value is called the sum of the magic square. Magic squares are interesting objects in both mathematics proper and in recreational mathematics. So they are objects that children should have heard about and experienced. The problems in this sequence give students the opportunity to use the new numerical or algebraic concepts that they will have acquired at that Level, along with magic squares. Its a critical part of this and some earlier problems that three times the centre square is equal to the sum of the magic square. We prove this in the Extension to

Extractions: MAGIC SQUARE VOCABULARY (Lois Hoshijo) Descriptor and Setting: Content Area Literacy "Magic Square" Math Vocabulary StrategyLois Hoshijo used the "Magic Square" vocabulary strategy in her middle school classroom to assess students' knowledge of definitions of mathematical terms. The procedure that Lois used is described by her as follows: I chose to use a 3 x 3 Magic Square that was an example from Art Scholastic (1993). The numerical total for each vertical, horizontal, and diagonal row was 18. I organized my activity with three separate sections: a) the 3 x 3 square each labeled with a letter, b) the list of content area terms, and c) the list of definitions for those mathematical terms. Students were directed to match each term with the appropriate definition, while they also considered the numbers denoting the terms as well as the letters denoting the definitions. Once the match was made, the number of the correct mathematical term was placed in the proper space of the square that was marked by the letter of the matching definition. Students were not informed about what the correct total of the Magic Square was. If their matches were correct, the Magic Square would be completed.

http://www.halexandria.org/dward090.htm

Extractions: Quickie Introduction A curious arrangement of numbers includes what is referred to as a magic square. The magic derives from the fact that numbers arranged in a square of equal sides all add to the same total, coming and going, up and down, and oft times even from an angle (diagonal). For example: Note that the total always adds to 15 (row, column or diagonal), the diagonals no longer necessarily add properly if either the row and/or columns are mixed, and the total of any three rows or columns is 45. This is a magic square of rank 3. One can also do a 4x4 magic square, e.g. Here the rows and columns add to 34, but in this particular case the diagonals do not. The 3x3 example above is considered Panmagic Diabolical, Nasik, or Pandiagonal , while the 4x4 above is merely magic. It is also possible to start with zero, instead of one, so that a possible 5x5 magic square is: http://www.grogono.com Included is a very brief, traditional history, which notes that all magic squares have at least eight variations: the square can be rotated into four positions and each of these rotations can be reflected - for a total of eight variations of any one unique design. Most magic squares do not remain magic if one border is moved to the opposite edge - the change leaves the main diagonal no longer magic.

Write a program to create Magic Squares of odd order (1,3,5,7, etc.) up to order 51. For small squares we could use the brute force approach as used in the 3x3 matrix in the rotating sums problem. But recall from earlier exercises that there are X! ways to arrange X numbers and 10! is approaching the upper limit that can be solved quickly (10! is about 3.6 million). This implies that finding the solution by brute force for an order 5 square would require trying up to 25! permutations of the numbers from 1 to 25. Clearly not a practical approach. Like many puzzles of a mathematical bent, Magic Squares have been studied for hundreds of years. The algorithm used here for odd order Magic Squares was discovered at least 500 years ago. I'll leave it to the reader to search out the pertinent history.

Search WWW Search delphiforfun.org Problem Description Dürer's Magic Square is contained in a famous copper engraving, "Melancholia", created in 1514 by German artist Albrecht Dürer. There are 86 different combinations of four numbers from the square that sum to it's magic number, 34! How many can you find? Albrecht Dürer is generally considered to be Germany's most famous Renaissance artist. He was about 20 years younger than Leonardo da Vinci and around 1500 became greatly interested in the relationship between mathematics and art. Leonardo and his contemporary, mathematician Pacioli, almost certainly influenced Dürer in these studies. In 1514 he created the copperplate engraving named "Melancholia I" which contained this magic square - the first magic square published in Europe. (Notice that the creation date of the picture, 1514, is contained in the bottom row of the square.)

http://www.math.unifi.it/~caressa/math/sator.html

Extractions: A magic square is a square table (mathematicians call them "matrices") of numbers with the remarkable property that the sum of numbers on diagonals, rows and columns give the same number: of course one requires that the numbers appearing in the table are all different between them. For example is such that the sum of rows, columns and diagonal gives 15. This is a rather symmetric magic square since: the sum of numbers along sub-rectangles with six numbers is always 30 (this is obvious since the sum of rows and columns gives 15), and the sum of sub-triangles with four numbers is always 20 (also this is obvious). You may find a lot of links and books on magic squares: here I confine myself to a brief discussion just to introduce an unaware reader. The first appearance of a magic square in history can be traced back to XXIII century b.C: the Chinese emperor Yu (of the Hsia dynasty) was contemplating the Yellow River when he saw, emerging from its waters, a tortoise, a sacred animal to ancient Chinese. On the shell of the tortoise it was drawn a magic square of order three. Magic squares were considered, also due to this mysterious origin, as talismans and amulets which can cure the health both of body and spirit. From China their cult (and also recipes to build them) penetrated in India: for example in 1356 Narayana described several ways to construct magic squares of different orders.

Extractions: The applet below can be used to generate magic squares with odd sides (1, 3, 5 of 7). After some experiments you will probably discover the construction method, enabling you to make bigger squares for yourself. Here, a magic square is considered to be a sqare filled with integer numbers from a monotonic sequence, i.e. a sequence having a constant difference between consecutive elements, in such a way that all sums of rows, columns and both diagonals are equal. Choose the desired size of the square in the choice list in the upper left corner. If everything works properly a square of empty text fields appears, with comments on the sides and some extra text fields for row, column and diagonal totals. Type the horizontal and vertical positions of the first number of the abovementioned monotonic sequence in both text fields below the text 'Coordinaten beginvak:'. Next type the values of this first number and the constant difference to the right of the texts 'Basis' and 'Increment'.

Magic Square Variations
Unique matrix positions in magic square pattern rotation and reflection. The consensuscorrectly maintains that there is only one order 3 magic square.
http://www.innotts.co.uk/deveritt/magicsquare/variations.htm

Extractions: The following explains the problems inherent in deciding whether rotations and reflections should be considered as original magic squares on a fixed matrix, or as a smaller separate number of fixed pattern groups based solely on numerical relation and translated through rotation and reflection. The case is argued for the latter for reasons outlined in the summary below. This description is written by a digital artist with an interest in magic square and cube patterns, not a mathematician. Illustrations and further explorations of the idea are in preparation. Thanks to Simon Nee at Loughborough University Computer Human Interface Department for his input on refining the formula. Thanks also to Alan Grogono Dave Harper and Charles Kelley (and their magic square websites) who have responded with helpful and informed comments. Summary This inquiry begins with the already obvious number of possible permutations based *only* on rotation and reflection, for any given magic square. The answer is, of course, 8 - the Dn or dihedral group of symmetries for a square where n is the order of regular-sided polygon rotated. However, this raises a further, more fundamental issue of the number of unique positions within a magic square matrix that any number can occupy, once those eliminated by the symmetry group are exculded. Where magic squares are classified as sets of integers in a fixed matrix in which each position is unique and static, the eight rotations and reflections of any magic square pattern within that matrix must be regarded as separate entities. However, the generally held position disreguards these rotations and reflections, as do, perhaps, some attempts to formulate exhaustive formulae for determining magic square permutations. But if each individual square is be treated as a single group where the eight rotations and reflections form a group of symmetries (trivial to the existing method) for that square, there are implications for such formulae. If any number in a magic square is rotated and reflected through the square's group of eight symmetries, it can be seen to occupy either 1, 4 or 8

The classic form of a magic square is a square containing consecutive numbers starting with 1, in which the rows and columns and the diagonals all total to the same number. I'll have to admit that I was never very much interested by magic squares, as opposed to other mathematical amusements, but a Mathematical Games column in Scientific American by Martin Gardner disclosed some new discoveries in magic squares that are of interest. The only magic square of order 3, except for trivial translations such as reflection and rotation, is: Some magic squares are very simple to construct. Magic squares of any odd order can be constructed following a pattern very similar to that of the 3 by 3 magic square: One can also construct a magic square by making a square array of copies of a magic square, and then adding a displacement to the elements of each copy based on a plan given by another magic square: thus, making nine copies of

Extractions: Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Humanity's love affair with mathematics and mysticism reached a critical juncture, legend has it, on the back of a turtle in ancient China. As Clifford Pickover briefly recounts in this enthralling book, the most comprehensive in decades on magic squares, Emperor Yu was supposedly strolling along the Yellow River one day around 2200 B.C. when he spotted the creature: its shell had a series of dots within squares. To Yu's amazement, each row of squares contained fifteen dots, as did the columns and diagonals. When he added any two cells opposite along a line through the center square, like 2 and 8, he always arrived at 10. The turtle, unwitting inspirer of the ''Yu'' square, went on to a life of courtly comfort and fame. Pickover explains why Chinese emperors, Babylonian astrologer-priests, prehistoric cave people in France, and ancient Mayans of the Yucatan were convinced that magic squaresarrays filled with numbers or letters in certain arrangementsheld the secret of the universe. Since the dawn of civilization, he writes, humans have invoked such patterns to ward off evil and bring good fortune. Yet who would have guessed that in the twenty-first century, mathematicians would be studying magic squares so immense and in so many dimensions that the objects defy ordinary human contemplation and visualization?

Here is the lo-shu magic square: The first indication of any mathematical investigation into magic squares was from Cornelius Agrippa.
