  Programming Lang: GNU R
  Description     : GNU R create and investigate magic squares
 A collection of efficient, vectorized algorithms for the
 creation and investigation of magic squares and hypercubes, including
 a variety of functions for the manipulation and analysis of
 arbitrarily dimensioned arrays.  The package includes methods for
 creating normal magic squares of any order greater than 2.  The
 ultimate intention is for the package to be a computerized embodiment
 all magic square knowledge, including direct numerical verification
 of properties of magic squares (such as recent results on the
 determinant of odd-ordered semimagic squares).  Some antimagic
 functionality is included.  The package also
 serves as a rebuttal to the often-heard comment "I thought R
 was just for statistics".


Remark: This package is needed as a dependency for r-cran-geometry which
in turn is a new dependency to upgrade r-cran-ddalpha to its latest
upstream version.  It is maintained by the R-pkg team at
