Abstract

A latin square of order n is an n × n array (or matrix) containing n distinct symbols (which are often taken to be the symbols 0, 1, …, n - 1, though any n symbols will do) arranged in such a way that all n of these symbols occur in the n cells of each row and also in the n cells of each column. Such squares occur in many guises: for example, as appropriate field layouts in the statistical design of experiments, as the addition or multiplication tables of groups, as a coding theory device and as a means of representing a finite geometry algebraically.
