Package: magic 1.6-1-1

magic: Create and Investigate Magic Squares

A collection of functions for the manipulation and analysis of arbitrarily dimensioned arrays. The original motivation for the package was the development of efficient, vectorized algorithms for the creation and investigation of magic squares and high-dimensional magic hypercubes.
