The concepts of latin squares and mutually orthogonal latin squares were generalized to latin cubes and hypercubes, and orthogonal latin cubes and hypercubes by Kishen (1942). Rao (1946) generalized these results to strength t. The present notion of orthogonal array as a generalization of these ideas, due to C.R. Rao, appears in Rao (1947).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
