Content Summary
Euler shows how to construct magic squares with a certain number of cells, in particular 9, 16, 25, and 36. He also considers some general rules for constructing squares of even and odd orders. He starts with Graeco-Latin squares and puts constraints on the values of the variables so that the result is a magic square.
