International Journal of Scientific and Innovative Mathematical Research · 2016
Magic squares have been known in India from very early times. The renowned mathematicianRamanujan had immense contributions in the field of Magic Squares.A magic square is a square array of numbers where the rows, columns, diagonals and co-diagonals add up to the same number.The paper discuss about a well-known class of magic squares; the strongly magic square.The strongly magic square is a magic square with a stronger property that the sum of the entries of the sub-squares taken without any gaps between the rows or columns is also the magic constant.In this paper a generic definition for Strongly Magic Squares is given.Some interesting properties of Strongly Magic Squares are briefly described.
