Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0715.00010.] The author introduces universal algebra and then gives varieties of algebras where the corresponding Latin squares have interesting properties. Algebraic properties are then used to construct a simple counterexample to Euler's conjecture regarding the non-existence of a pair of mutually orthogonal Latin square for any order \(4k+2\) by obtaining a pair of order 54. Free algebras on a number of generators are used to study functions which have mutually orthogonal Latin squares as their tables.
