My second talk will not be a continuation of sudoku, however it will be on something similar called magic squares. Recalling from last talk Latin squares of 3×3 dimension make up the 9×9 sudoku board where no number is repeated in any column or row or...

Using much of what was discussed in my last talk, we will prove a very important theorem that deals with a prime expansion of any rational number. An understanding of the following concepts are necessary to complete the proof: Relatively Prime Two positive integers m...
