This thesis aims to define what an affine magic square is and to determine the number of existing affine magic squares. An affine square is the square determined by the map W = 8V1(x) + 4Vz(x) + 2V3(x) + V4(x) + 1 where Vj, j = 1, ...,4 are affine functions. An affine magic square is nonsingular and...
