[For the entire collection see Zbl 0715.00010.] There are many experimental designs in which frequency squares and orthogonal frequency squares give sufficient analysis. This chapter surveys the known constructions for these squares giving a good bibliography. Next a brief discussion of enumeration and classification of \(F\)-squares is given and then Smetanuik's result showing the analogous result to the Evan's conjecture ``that a partial \(F(n;\lambda_ 1,\lambda_ 2,\dots,\lambda_ m)\) square with \(n-1\) cells occupied can be completed to an \(F(n;\lambda_ 1,\lambda_ 2,\dots,\lambda_ m)\) is proved. A survey of Hedayat's, Fedener's and Mandeli's results on \(F\)- rectangles, \(F\)-hyper-rectangles and frequency cubes is given. Finally, Mullen's method for constructing complete sets of mutually orthogonal \(F\)-squares which is a natural generalization of the Bose construction for complete sets of mutually orthogonal Latin squares is given.
