1.0 out of 5 stars
I was disappointed,
By Erewhon in Arlington (Arlington, Va USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Solving Magic Squares: Generic Solutions to Solving Magic Squares (Hardcover)
After waiting a year while the paperback version was backordered/unavailable, I decided to get the hardcover. For me, this was a waste of $20. I was hoping to find some mathematical insights into the phenomenon of magic squares, but Mr. Simpson's self-published book is just a rehashing of well-known paper-and-pencil techniques of construction. While I was waiting for the book, I was able to search the Internet and find free algorithms developed by others that more elegantly describe construction principles, and in such a way that one could program them fairly easily (which I did). I'm hoping a competing title, "The Zen of Magic Squares..." etc. by Clifford Pickover, will have more meat to it.
