A left quasigroup is a magma in which the rows of the Cayley table are permutations of the elements.

The IsLeftQuasigroup command returns true if the given magma is a left quasigroup, and returns false otherwise.

A right quasigroup is a magma in which the columns of the Cayley table are permutations of the elements.

The IsRightQuasigroup command returns true if the given magma is a right quasigroup, and returns false otherwise.

A quasigroup is a magma whose Cayley table is a Latin square. That is, each row and column is a permutation of the integers from 1 to n, where n is the order of the magma. Thus, a magma is a quasigroup if, and only if, it is both a left quasigroup and a right quasigroup.

The IsQuasigroup command returns true if the given magma is a quasigroup, and returns false otherwise.

The Magma[IsQuasigroup] command is thread-safe as of Maple 16.

The Magma[IsLeftQuasigroup] and Magma[IsRightQuasigroup] commands are thread-safe as of Maple 17.
