Prof Gary Mullins - What are Orthogonal Latin Squares?

2-3pm, UCD CASL Seminar Room

Abstract

A latin square of order n is an n by n square containing n distinct symbols

and arranged so that each row and each column contains each of the n symbols

exactly once. There is a long and fascinating history dealing with latin squares and

sets of orthogonal latin squares. We will discuss a variety of these topics.
