Homework: magic squares
• A magic square will remain magic if any number is added to every number of a magic square.
• A magic square will remain magic if any number multiplies every number of a magic square.
• A magic square will remain magic if two rows, or columns, equidistant from the centre are interchanged.
• An even order magic square ( n x n where n is even) will remain magic if the quadrants are interchanged.
• An odd order magic square will remain magic if the partial quadrants and the row is interchanged.

• There are many 5×5 pandiagonal magic squares. Unlike 4×4 panmagic squares. The above is a 5×5 associative panmagic square:
• In addition to the rows, columns, and diagonals, a 5×5 pandiagonal magic square also shows its magic sum in four "quincunx" patterns, which in the above example are:
• 17+25+13+1+9 = 65 (centre plus adjacent row and column squares) 21+7+13+19+5 = 65 (centre plus the remaining row and column squares) 4+10+13+16+22 = 65 (centre plus diagonally adjacent squares) 20+2+13+24+6 = 65 (centre plus the remaining squares on its diagonals)

Euclid's Postulates in his “Elements” (axioms – basic truths)
1. A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.
2. Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.
3. Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as centre.
4. All right angles are congruent. 5. If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way
that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough. This postulate is equivalent to what is known as the parallel postulate.

Topologically speaking....
Topology is the mathematical study of the properties that are preserved through deformations, twistings, and stretchings of objects. Tearing, however, is not allowed.
The definition of topology leads to the following mathematical joke (Renteln and Dundes 2005):
Q: What is a topologist? A: Someone who cannot distinguish between a doughnut and a coffee cup.

August Ferdinand Möbius (1790–1868)
He is best known for his discovery of the Möbius strip, a non-orientable two-dimensional surface with only one side when embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space.

Let’s try it
Make a loop by making a half twist in a strip of paper
Draw a line down the middle of the strip – how many sides are there?
Cut the strip down the line. What do you expect to get? What do you get?

More surprises?
Make a loop by making a half twist in a strip of paper again
Cut it starting a third of the way from one edge – keep cutting until you pass the original starting point then carry on until you meet it again. What happens now?
What happens when you cut a loop with one full twist and one and a half twists?

distinct topological objects
In these figures, parallel edges drawn in solid join one another with the orientation indicated with arrows, so corners labeled with the same letter correspond to the same point, and dashed lines show edges that remain free (Gardner 1971, pp. 15-17; Gray 1997, pp. 322-324). The above figures correspond to the disk (plane), Klein bottle, Möbius strip, real projective plane, sphere, torus, and tube.

Polygons (not dead parrots!)
A closed plane figure for which all sides are line segments. The name of a polygon describes the number of sides. A polygon which has all sides mutually congruent and all angles mutually congruent is called a regular polygon.

Tesselations
A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated over and over again covering a plane without any gaps or overlaps.
• a tessellation of equilateral triangles
• a tessellation of squares
• a tessellation of regular hexagons

Escher (1898-1972)
Maurits Cornelius Escher is one of the world’s most famous graphic artists. He is most famous for his impossible structures, but he also created other beautiful works of art such as realistic work, tapestries, and murals. He uses interlocking shapes, transforming creatures, and impossible structures to challenge the viewer’s perception of reality. He once stated, “The ideas that are basic to them often bear witness to my amazement and wonder at the laws of nature which operate in the world around us.” This amazement with nature’s laws inspired his works.
