Rezumat	A factorial experiment is an experimental design in which two or more independent variables (factors) are manipulated simultaneously, and every combination of their levels is tested. Introduced by Ronald Fisher in the 1920s–1930s, it is the standard approach whenever a researcher needs to detect not only the main effect of each factor but also whether the effect of one factor depends on the level of another — the interaction effect.	The Latin square design is a blocked experimental design that simultaneously controls two independent nuisance factors — the row block and the column block — so that each treatment appears exactly once in every row and every column of an n×n arrangement. Formalised by Ronald A. Fisher in his 1935 monograph The Design of Experiments, the design dramatically reduces experimental error by absorbing variation from two extraneous sources before the treatment effects are estimated.
