In mathematics, a magic tesseract is the 4-dimensional counterpart of a magic square and magic cube, that is, a number of integers arranged in an n × n × n × n pattern such that the sum of the numbers on each pillar (along any axis) as well as the main space diagonals is equal to a single number, the so-called magic constant of the tesseract, denoted M4(n). It can be shown that if a magic tesseract consists of the numbers 1, 2, ..., n4, then it has magic constant (sequence A021003 in OEIS)
The number n is called the order of the magic tesseract.

Famous quotes containing the word magic:
“I revere the memory of Mr. F. as an estimable man and most indulgent husband, only necessary to mention Asparagus and it appeared or to hint at any little delicate thing to drink and it came like magic in a pint bottle; it was not ecstasy but it was comfort.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
