An intuitive and accessible approach to discrete mathematics using Latin squares

In the past two decades, researchers have discovered a range of uses for Latin squares that go beyond standard mathematics. People working in the fields of science, engineering, statistics, and even computer science all stand to benefit from a working knowledge of Latin squares. Discrete Mathematics Using Latin Squares is the only upper-level college textbook/professional reference that fully engages the subject and its many important applications.

Mixing theoretical basics, such as the construction of orthogonal Latin squares, with numerous practical examples, proofs, and exercises, this text/reference offers an extensive and well-rounded treatment of the topic. Its flexible design encourages readers to group chapters according to their interests, whether they be purely mathematical or mostly applied. Other features include:

• An entirely new approach to discrete mathematics, from basic properties and generalizations to unusual applications
• 16 self-contained chapters that can be grouped for custom use
• Coverage of various uses of Latin squares, from computer systems to tennis and golf tournament design
• An extensive range of exercises, from routine problems to proofs of theorems
• Extended coverage of basic algebra in an appendix filled with corresponding material for further investigation.

Written by two leading authorities who have published extensively in the field, Discrete Mathematics Using Latin Squares is an easy-to-use academic and professional reference. ... Read more

Excerpt: In recreational mathematics, a magic square of order n is an arrangement of n numbers, usually distinct integers, in a square, such that the n numbers in all rows, all columns, and both diagonals sum to the same constant. A normal magic square contains the integers from 1 to n. The term "magic square" is also sometimes used to refer to any of various types of word square. Normal magic squares exist for all orders n 1 except n = 2, although the case n = 1 is trivial, consisting of a single cell containing the number 1. The smallest nontrivial case, shown below, is of order 3. The constant sum in every row, column and diagonal is called the magic constant or...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=52202 ... Read more

Product Description
In 1989 Widdis and Richter proposed a composition theorem for magic squares which when combined with the De La Loubère's method gives a method to generate large odd or even order magic squares from smaller magic squares. This book includes, but is not limited to (1) a discussion of the composition theorem for magic squares, (2)discussion of the system of congruences algorithm for constructing magic squares, (3) illustration of how a simple spreadsheet can be used to facilitate the computations of large magic squares using the congruence algorithms and the composition theorem, and (4) discussion of Kronecker sums, Kronecker products and a solution to the magic equation MY+YN=S where M, N and S are magic matrices. The discussions and the examples are simplified; and the book is designed to provide supplemental materials for a course in number theory for teachers or for a workshop in mathematics for teachers. The contents could also be of interests to those who read mathematics recreationally. ... Read more
