	John Conway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Horton Conway (born December 26, 1937, Liverpool, England) is a prolific mathematician active in the theory of finite groups, knot theory, number theory, combinatorial game theory and coding theory.
		Among amateur mathematicians, he is perhaps most widely known for his combinatorial game theory and for the invention of the game of life.
		Conway is currently professor of mathematics at Princeton University.

		John became interested in mathematics at a very early age and his mother Agnes recalled that he could recite the powers of two when aged four years.
		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.

		John Conway, former director of career services in the School and a 1985 graduate, returned in January as assistant dean for distance education and executive education.
		During their conversation, Cole told Conway about the search for a new assistant dean for executive education and mentioned that the School would be working to develop its distance education program.
		Cole said Conway was an excellent candidate for the expanded position and will have a "bigger plate" of work with the addition of distance education.

	HISTORICAL NEWS AND COMMENT: DAN DESJARDINS: Critique of John S. Conway's Review of Walter Sanning's Dissolution of ...
		Conway even acknowledges the extensive use of Jewish and Israeli sources in establishing Jewish population shifts into the Soviet Union, revealing that much of European Jewry avoided the German advance and did not reside within its sphere of occupation.
		Whereas Conway is rather undemocratic in this regard, he is otherwise the perfect egalitarian: he implicitly suggests that Sanning's suppositions are equivalently unverifiable, while in actuality they are equal only to the degree that Conway's claims themselves cannot be verified because they remain mere innuendo, without a single example specified.
		Conway does not simply say that Sanning may have derived mistaken or faulty conjectures, but that his analysis was a wilful and perverse attempt at concoction.

		I don't remember what could have sparked such interest." Conway was at the top of the class in almost everything, until he reached high school, when it ceased.
		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.
		In fifteen years, Conway and his colleagues collected all the "interesting" groups, classified them, described their properties, and put them into one volume.

		John Conway first played Life by hand on a board for the game of Go, using the Go pieces for live cells.

	Critique of John S. Conway's Review of Walter Sanning's Dissolution of Eastern European Jewry
		After a preamble in which Conway praises Sanning for avoiding sensationalism (i.e., refraining from the assertions that gas chambers never existed or that the Holocaust is mere Zionist propaganda), he launches into a reasonable summary of Sanning's demographic findings.
		Still lacking the demographer's expertise, Conway elaborates his suspicions to include "juggled figures" and "dubious conjectures about demographic trends, fertility patterns, death rates, emigration opportunities, and other equally unverifiable suppositions..." I am afraid that I am in the same predicament regarding Conway as Conway is regarding Sanning.
		I will say only this: to the degree that Conway uses his claim of "dubiousness" as an inference that Sanning's conjectures are false, he is liable to the fallacy of argumentum ad ignorantiam: the proposition that if a thing cannot be proven (i.e., "unverifiable"), it is necessarily disproved.

		Conway is the most original mathematician on the planet, as well as a remarkably witty and vivid writer, who combines wordplay and logic better than anyone since Lewis Carroll.
		John Horton Conway is probably best known as the creator/discoverer of the computer game called "Life," with which he re-founded the entire field of cellular automata.
		Conway noticed that in the board game of Go, there were certain patterns in the endgames such that each "game" looked like it could be constructed out of smaller "games".

	G4 - Feature - John Conway's Game of Life
		Conway's game is a simple mathematical exercise with potentially broad applications in the fields of science and technology.
		Conway's discovery single-handedly launched the field of cellular automata, the study of systems in which simple rules are applied to create complex results.
		By starting with the simplest system, such as Conway's game of "Life," scientists and mathematicians can begin to build a framework for isolating and modeling the seemingly random patterns of nature.
