arXiv preprint arXiv:0711.0527, 2007•arxiv.orgUntil now the problem counting Latin rectangles mxn has been solved with an explicit
formula for m= 2, 3 and 4 only. In the present paper an explicit formula is provided for the
calculation of the number of Latin rectangles for any order m. The results attained up to now
become particular cases of this new formula. Furthermore, putting m= n, the number of Latin
squares of order n can also be obtained in an explicit form.
