1. Introduction. A dissection of a rectangle R into a finite number n of non-overlapping squares is called a squaring of R of order n. The n squares are called the elements of the dissection. If there is more than one element and the elements are all unequal the squaring is called perfect and R is a perfect rectangle. (We use R to denote both a rectangle and a particular squaring of it). If a squared (perfect) rectangle is a square we call it a squared (perfect) square.
