What Is The Ramanujan Magic Square?

 

While math, as a subject might be strenuous and arduous, its wonders never fail to leave us flabbergasted. One such magical math square was created by Srinivasa Ramanujan, who was an Indian mathematician. This magical square is a matrix of numbers in which every row, column and diagonal add up to the same number. 

Mathematician, Ramanujan created a Magic Square: one of its kind fascinating mathematical objects that has a deep and mysterious history that has been so far unmanageable for researchers and mathematicians to decipher. Knowing and learning about this magic square can be helpful and rewarding for students. 

Therefore, in this blog post, we will explore the origins of the Ramanujan Magic Square, its properties, and much more. We will also discuss some applications of the Ramanujan Magic Square in mathematics 

1. The Lo Shu square

This is a 3×3 magic square that has been used in China for over 4000 years. It is said to have been discovered by the legendary Emperor Yu, who saw it on the back of a turtle. The Lo Shu square is also known as the Ramanujan-Nagell magic square, as it can be generated using Ramanujan’s method. It served the purpose of city planning, designing tombs, and temple design for architectural matters. The magic square was essentially used here to designate spaces of political and religious importance.
