Description
In 1974 the editors of the present volume published a well-received book entitled ``Latin Squares and their Applications''. It included
a list of 73 unsolved problems of which about 20 have been completely solved in the intervening period and about 10 more have been partially
solved.
The present work comprises six contributed chapters and also six further chapters written by the editors themselves. As well
as discussing the advances which have been made in the subject matter of most of the chapters of the earlier book, this new book contains
one chapter which deals with a subject (r-orthogonal latin squares) which did not exist when the earlier book was written.
The success
of the former book is shown by the two or three hundred published papers which deal with questions raised by it.
Included in series
