Abstract
As has been pointed out in the companion piece on the same
topic elsewhere in this issue, magic squares have been a
source of recreation and leisure from ancient times. There
is something about the symmetry and patterns contained in such
squares that carry great appeal. In this piece, we shall prove two
simple results about 3 × 3 and 4 × 4 magic squares. (Such squares
would also be called third-order and fourth-order magic squares
respectively.) Considering the ease and elegance with which they
can be proved, the results will only add further appeal to an already
wonderful subject.
