De la Loubère method
Magic Square is part of Mathematics. A lot of Mathematicians have worked in this field. Indians were past masters in this field. There are several magic squares like Gwalior Square. Sri Rama Chakra, Seetha Chakra, Nasik Square, etc. found in the culture and the tradition of the Indians. Sri Rama chakra is a 4x4 magic square, and Seetha Chakra is a 3x3 magic square.
Both of these are used to making predictions in astrology. Jains also have contributed a lot to the magic squares, and the square they have discovered is called the Jaina square.
Europeans have also done a lot of work in the Magic Squares. The following demonstration of the construction of the Odd order magic square is named De la Loubère method, after the French ambassador posted in Thailand.
It is also called the Siamese method. He didn't invent it, though. He learned it from the Thai people, and it is also called the Siamese method. But it is positively called or identified after the French Ambassador De la Loubère, and we call it as De la Loubère method.
There are basically two kinds of magic squares. They are odd-order magic squares and even order magic squares.
Odd order magic squares are of type 3x3, 5x5, 7x7, etc.
Odd order magic squares are easy to construct. There are two popular methods to create an odd order magic square like this De la Loubere and Meziriac methods.
Both are quite easy and interesting to construct.
The De la loubere method is the most famous one.
The even order magic squares are divided into two types. Singly Even order magic squares, and Doubly even order magic squares.
Singly even order magic squares are of type 6x6, 10x10, 14x14, etc. The numbers 6, 10, 14, etc., are divisible by 2 but not by 4. Hence these are called the singly even order magic squares.
The doubly even order magic squares are of type 4x4, 8x8, 12x12, etc. The numbers 4, 8, 12, etc., are divisible by 2 and 4.
This video talks about creating an odd-order magic square of any dimension.
I hope this video helps you in constructing one.
