  Main diagonal
In linear algebra, the main diagonal of a square matrix is the diagonal which runs from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.
A matrix like the above in which only the elements of the main diagonal are non-zero is called a diagonal matrix.
The sum of the entries on the main diagonal of a matrix is known as the trace of that matrix.

 Diagonal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In engineering a diagonal brace is a beam used to cross brace a rectangular structure such as scaffolding to withstand sheer forces pusing into a rhombus; although called diagonal, due to practical considerations in practice diagonal braces are often not connected to the corners of the rectangle.
Diagonal pliers are wire-cutting pliers defined by the cutting edges of the jaws intersects the joint rivet at an angle or "on a diagonal", hence the name.
In general, the intersection number of the graph of a function with the diagonal may be computed using homology via the Lefschetz fixed point theorem; the self-intersection of the diagonal is the special case of the identity function.

 Main Daigonals and Euler's Totient   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The diagonal enters a new little cube each time it passes through a "wall", and (starting from the negative region) we know it passes through 150 walls in the x direction, 324 in the y direction, and 375 in the z direction, for a total of 849.
However, some of these transitions from one cell to another occur when the diagonal line passes through more than one wall at once.
For example, the diagonal enters the very first cell at one of its vertices (the 0,0,0 point), so it's passing through 3 walls but entering only one new region.

So, the new right main diagonal starting from the upper right and proceeding down and to the left should be: the large yellow square with thin border, the small yellow square with fat border, the large green triangle with thin border, and the small green triangle with fat border.
Note that one similarity class {0, 5, 10, 15, 3, 6, 9, 12} occurs on the two main diagonals, and the other similarity class {14, 13, 2, 1, 11, 7, 8, 4} occurs in the middle of the top and bottom rows, and in the middle of the leftmost and rightmost columns of the table.
Next, since we must have the same similarity class occupying the left main diagonal, we have 6 choices remaining for the first position below a on this diagonal, say b, and then b' must go below a' in the last position on this diagonal.
