Magic Squares in Indian Tradition- AI commented

  Magic Squares in Indian Tradition- AI commented     In all magic squares, it is through arithmetic progression . . .   By those desirous . . . the first term and the common difference have to be determined.   As many as the number of boxes in the square will be equal to the number of terms (n2).                     Popularity of Magic squares in India   The first chapter of Srinivasa Ramanujan’s Notebooks is on Magic Squares. It is said to be "much earlier than the remainder of the notebooks”.    T.Vijayaraghavan,in his article on Jaina Magic Squares (1941)notes: “The author of this note learnt by heart at the age of nine the following pan-diagonal square which was taught to him by an elderly person who had not been to school at all.”  8 11 2 13 1 14 7 12 15 4 9 6 10 5 16 3         This clearly indicates the popularity of Magic...

Vijayaraghavan (1941).     Anci...

Narayan Pandit- Kuttaka Magic Square - AI Comments

  Narayan Pandit- Kuttaka Magic Square - AI Comments    Kuttaka and magic squares   Given the magic sum S and the order of the magic square n,the first thing to be done to construct the magic square is to obtain the  defined by(a, d).   Having obtained (a, d ), the   having n2 elements is constructed and this will be used to fill in n × n square. Narayana makes use of the following kuttakara to obtain (a, d). 2 1 2  nS = n 2{a+(a+(n −1)d)} (1) or S = na+ n (n2 −1)d (2) 2   It is well known that in a kuttakara problem there exists an infinite number of integral solutions for (a, d) if S is divisible by the GCD of    n,   n   (n2 − 1) . In other words, S should be divisible by n when n is 2  odd, and by n for n even. 2 Suresh, this is a fascinating convergence of  Diophantine reasoning (Kuttaka)  and  magic square construction , as presented by Narāya...

Narayan Pandit - Constructing 4x4 Magic Squares - AI Comments

  Narayan Pandit - Constructing 4x4 Magic Squares - AI Comments  Narayana’s example: Construct a 4×4 magic square with S=40.Now we have the equation 40 = 4a + 30d which is satisfied by the pairs (a, d ) = (−5, 2) (10, 0) (25. − 2), and so on.                         Properties of 4 × 4 pan-diagonal magic squares Property 1: Let M be a pan-diagonal 4 × 4 magic square with entries 1, 2, . . . , 16, which is mapped on to the torus by identifying opposite edges of the square. Then the entries of any 2x2 sub-square formed by consecutive rows and columns on the torus add up to 34.    1  12 13   8   15  6  3   10   4    9  16   5   14  7  2   11     Property 2: 1 + 12 + 15 + 6 = 1 + 12 + 14 + 7 = 34 1+15+8+10=4+14+9+7=...

Natrayan Pandit- Magic Square Methos - AI Comments

  Natrayan Pandit- Magic Square Methos - AI Comments   Narayana's Example 1: 4x4 Magic Square with Sum 40 Narayana takes the sequence 1, 2, 3,4 as the base sequence  (mulapankti),  which is also called the first sequence; and the sequence 0, 1, 2, 3 as the other sequence  (parapankti),  which is also called the second sequence. The sum of the first sequence is 10. When this is subtracted from 40, or the desired magic sum  (phala),  we get 30. When this is divided by the sum of the second sequence, namely 6, we get 5 as the factor  (guna).  Multiplying each of the terms of the second sequence by this factor, we get the product sequence  (gunapankti)  0, 5, 10, 15. From these sequences, Narayana forms the covered  (chadya)  and the coverer  (chadaka)  squares as shown in Fig. 1. नारायण   पंडित मूलपङ्क्ति  =  १ , २ , ३ , ४  = १० ,  परापङ्क्ति  =  ० , १ , २ , ३  =  ६ ...

Narayan Pandit-Folding Method for Magic Square - AI Comments

  Narayan Pandit-Folding Method for Magic Square - AI Comments   In 1938, Rosser and Walker proved that this is in fact the exact number of 4x4 pan-diagonal magic squares with entries 1, 2, ..., 16.  Vijayaraghavan (1941) gave a much simpler proof of this result, which have been outlined by Sridharan and Srinivas (2011, pp.389-391),  Narayana goes on to discuss general methods of construction of magic squares depending upon whether the square is  samagarbha  (doubly-even),  visamagarbha  (singly-even) or  visama  (odd). In the case of  samagarbha  and  visama  squares, apart from discussing the traditionally well-known methods of construction (indicated for instance in Pheru's work earlier),  Narayana presents an entirely new method known as  samputa-vidhi  (method of folding). This is a general method of construction of magic squares by composing or folding two magic squares constructed suitably Naraya...
