Math Professor Finds Magic in Squares

Legend has it that magic squares were discovered by the Chinese emperor Yu in 2200 B.C. Today, 4200 years later, UC Mathematics Professor Hossein Behforooz is unlocking the "mystical" properties of these remarkable mathematical tables, still found in nearly every culture in the world, featuring rows, columns, and diagonals that all add up to the same number.

Learn more about Professor Behforooz's research.
