Question
I have problems understanding your article. For instance, you write:
- Latin squares are . In order to see this, consider all triples where — symbol in i-th row and j-th column in the latic [latin? PW] square. Then such triples for all
but then in the example i and j run from 1 to 3 and do not start at 0. And what is s, is it 3? If so, I find it confusing that you use s for the number of "symbols" and s(i,j) for the "symbol" itself. What is the difference between n and s? Also, the term "symbol" sounds odd to me, would "object" not be a better word, or is the word symbol standard in this subfield of math?--Paul Wormer 06:42, 23 June 2008 (CDT)
