Can Magic Squares be Applied in Mathematical and Scientific Research?

AI Thread Summary
Magic squares have potential applications in mathematical and scientific research beyond being mere curiosities. A user from Lahore, Pakistan, has identified a relationship between arithmetic sequences and magic squares, even creating 3D models. The 3x3 magic square example provided demonstrates that the sum of each row, column, and diagonal equals 15. However, some participants question the clarity of the mathematical formula shared, noting the need for definitions of variables involved. The discussion highlights both the interest in magic squares and the importance of clear communication in mathematical concepts.

Greetings,

I'm curious if "magic squares" have been found to be useful in mathematical or scientific endeavors apart from an "oddity" or "game"

Hello there!
I'm from Lahore - Pakistan. I've recently discovered a unique relationship between simple Arithmetic Sequence and Magic Squares & Cubes. I've also developed 3D models of that, too.
Magic Sqaures are basically a simple 2 Dimensional Arithmetic Sequence.
Now look at this smallest pattern of 3x3.

6 7 2
1 5 9
8 3 4
The summation of any horizontal, vertical line or either of the two main diagonals is 15.
Mathematically

n/2[2a+(n-1)d]
Sn= -------------------
Total no. of squares
Contact me if you like on me email address & I'll try to elobarate on this.
Thanks.

You formula is meaningless if you don't tell us what n, a, and d are!
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
