Autoren-Porträt von Seymour S. Block, Santiago A. Tavares
Both authors are retired from the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Seymour Block, Ph.D., is a past president of the American Chemical Society, though he long ago became an aficionado of and expert on Ben Franklin. He's written two well-reviewed trade books on Franklin, not to mention several academic books in chemistry/chemical engineering (including one chemE reference book now in its 5th edition). Block has been interviewed on the History Channel on Franklin and his inventions and has written a number of popular articles on him, most recently the feature cover article for American History magazine (February 2006, "Benjamin Franklin: America's Inventor").

Rezension zu „Block, S: Before Sudoku “
Listed in Mathematical Reviews"The authors, both chemical engineers, have written a concise survey of a fascinating family of integer matrices. I will keep B&T in my library and I recommend it as a good starting point for newcomers to the field for the variety of magical squares introduced; however B&T contains no significant linear algebra." -- The Bulletin of the International Linear Algebra Society
