	Conway group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, the Conway groups Co, Co, and Co are three sporadic groups discovered by John Horton Conway.
		is obtained by dividing the automorphism group of Λ by its center, which consists of the scalar matrices ±1.
		The groups Co (of order 42,305,421,312,000) and Co (of order 495,766,656,000) consist of the automorphisms of Λ fixing a lattice vector of length 2 and a vector of √6 respectively.

	List of finite simple groups - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, the classification of finite simple groups states that every finite simple group is cyclic, or alternating, or in one of 16 families of groups of Lie type (including the Tits group, which strictly speaking is not of Lie type), or one of 26 sporadic groups.
		Remarks: The Tits group is strictly speaking not a group of Lie type, and in particular it is not the group of points of a connected simple algebraic group with values in some field, nor does it have a BN pair.
		The monster is the automorphism group of the 196884 dimensional Griess algebra and the infinite dimensional monster vertex operator algebra, and acts naturally on the monster Lie algebra.

		Conway recounts the successive phases of her early life: her childhood on a remote sheep station, her teenage years in suburban Sydney, her education at the University of Sydney, and her decision to become a historian and to leave Australia for the United States.
		Conway's search for her own identity, as a woman and as an Australian, is a complex story written in a deceptively simple narrative style.

		A finite sporadic simple group is a finite simple group which is not a member of one of the standard infinite families.
		The name surreal numbers was not invented by Conway, however, but by Donald Knuth who was so impressed with Conway's discovery that he wrote Surreal Numbers (1974) in the form of a novelette aimed at introducing the ideas of mathematical research to students.
		In 1986 Conway left Cambridge after accepting appointment to the John von Neumann Chair of Mathematics at Princeton in the United States where much of his work has focused on geometry, in particular studying the symmetries of crystal lattices.

		Conway said the FBI investigation is continuing in an effort to sort out which gang members took part in which robberies.
		Conway said the "cool shades"robberies, and the activities of another bank robber known as "Polo Shirt," are the main reasons for a 50 percent increase -- from 30 to 45 --in the number of Houston bank robberies during the past year.

		Conway was born in Liverpool in 1937 [26 December, 1937.
		Conway's first major published work was in 1968: a study of the symmetry group G of the Leech lattice, a 24-dimensional close packing of spheres.
		Conway's work was new and unusual, so he was immediately recognised as an important name in the mathematical world.

		Conway, what we have here is a poor Ph.D. thesis." Though the comment annoyed Conway at first, he realized that it meant that he was free to do whatever he liked.
		A group is a set (like the integers) associated with an operation (like addition), which follows certain very restrictive rules.
		Finding a new group was so rare and important that Conway was made a Fellow of the Royal Society for his discovery.

		And Conway, who was dismissed as CEO by the board of directors on Sept. 30 in the midst of the Pleasanton software maker's 16-month battle with would-be acquirer, Oracle Corp., could pocket $64.2 million.
		The accelerated vesting of stocks and options to Conway that would otherwise have returned to PeopleSoft was not part of the May 1999 employment agreement that Conway signed when he joined PeopleSoft as president, before ascending to CEO four months later.
		That is another reason Conway, if he is not an inveterate Ellison hater but a true economic rationalist as he tried to portray himself in his last months in office, should now welcome an Oracle takeover.
