Abstract

Magic squares have long been popular in recreational mathematics. Their potential for introducing students to ideas in linear algebra was recognised over forty years ago in [1] and later in [2]. More recently they have proved to be a fascinating topic for undergraduate exploration, especially when students have access to a computer algebra package [3]. Some results on powers of magic square matrices can be found in [4], [5] and [6]. (Readers who google the title ‘Odd magic powers’ of Thompson’s paper [5] will be treated to a wide variety of non-mathematical exotica!)
