The History of Magic Squares Historically, the first magic square was supposed to have been marked on the back of a divine tortoise before Emperor Yu (about 2200 B.C) when he was standing on the bank of the Yellow River. Even (feminine) numbers or yin. Odd (masculine) numbers or yang. lo-shu Water Fire Metal Wood The 4 elements evenly balanced With the Earth at the centre. 6 2 1 8 3 4 9 5 7

In the Middle Ages magic squares were believed to give protection against the plague! In the 16th Century, the Italian mathematician, Cardan, made an extensive study of the properties of magic squares and in the following century they were extensively studied by several leading Japanese mathematicians. During this century they have been used as amulets in India, as well as been found in oriental fortune bowls and medicine cups. Even today they are widespread in Tibet, (appearing in the “Wheel of Life) and in other countries such as Malaysia, that have close connections with China and India.

Melancholia Engraving by Albrecht Durer (1514) 16 3 2 13 5 10 11 8 9 6 7 12 4 15 14 1 Durer never explained the rich symbolism of his masterpiece but most authorities agree that it depicts the sullen mood of the thinker, unable to engage in action. In the Renaissance the melancholy temperament was thought characteristic of the creative genius. In Durers’ picture unused tools of science and carpentry lie in disorder about the dishevelled, brooding figure of Melancholy. There is nothing in the balance scale, no one mounts the ladder, the sleeping hound is half starved, the winged cherub is waiting for dictation, whist time is running out in the hour glass above. (thanks to Martin Gardner) Order 4 magic squares were linked to Jupiter by Renaissance astrologers and were thought to combat melancholy. A Famous Magic Square

Benjamin Franklin’s Magic Square. The American statesman, scientist, philosopher, author and publisher created a magic square full of interesting features. Benjamin was born in Massachusetts and was the 15th child and youngest son of a family of seventeen. In a very full life he investigated the physics of kite flying, he invented 1706 - 1790 a stove, bifocal glasses, he founded hospitals, libraries, and various postal systems and was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He worked on street lighting systems, a description of lead poisoning, and experiments in electricity. In 1752 he flew a home-made kite in a thunderstorm and proved that lightning is electricity. A bolt of lightning struck the kite wire and travelled down to a key fastened at the end, where it caused a spark. He also charted the movement of the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean, recording its temperature, speed and depth. Franklin led all the men of his time in a lifelong concern for the happiness, well-being and dignity of mankind. His name appears on the list of the greatest Americans of all time. In recognition of his life’s work, his picture appears on some stamps and money of the United States. Lorraine Mottershead (Sources of Mathematical Discovery)
