Descripción
Sumario:The objective of this work is to study the magic squares, to address historical aspects related to their emergence and their use by artists throughout the centuries, as well as to analyze the magic squares in the resolution of linear systems and in the language of the vector spaces of matrices. As a result, one can obtain another motivation for the study of matrices and linear systems, both in High School and Higher Education.
