    Extractions: These games are all taken from: Conway, John. 1976. On Numbers and Games. New York: Academic Press, Inc. John Conway says in the preface to this book that he wrote it to tell about the realationships between two of his favorite subjects: theories of transfinite numbers and mathematical games. Many of us have used logic and numbers to explain how to win a game, but mathematician Conway was not about to do something so ordinary. In this book he takes that idea and turns it inside out by showing how games can be used to describe numbers. Just play these games and try to win. As you understand the games and become expert at playing them, you will be building tools for understanding numbers and becoming an expert at playing with them. Describe what you understand about the games. Use words and pictures that make sense to you and your friends. If you play these games enough, you will be come so completely clever at them that you can always have a strategy that will win (as long as you don't play them with someone who is quite as clever about them as you are.)

    A simple Java implementation of conway's classic game of life. Use stock starting points or draw your own.  
    http://psych.hanover.edu/JavaTest/Play/Life.html
    
    Extractions: John Conway's Game of Life Below is a java version of John Conway's Game of Life. It is fairly simple to use. You can select some default starting points by using the combination box on the left of the bottom control panel. You can also add cells directly by clicking on the grid. If you click and drag, you add cells. If you simply click on the grid you will change the cell - a blank cell will be filled and a filled cell will be empty. Pressing the start button will start the program. Pressing stop will stop the program and allow you to enter new cells or figures. The clear button starts the process over. Below are the rules to life: The set of presets is quite limited at this time.

26. Conway
    Biography of john conway (19370BC) john conway s parents were Agnes Boyce and Cyril Horton conway. john had two older sisters, Sylvia and Joan.  
    http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Conway.html
    
    Extractions: Version for printing John Conway 's parents were Agnes Boyce and Cyril Horton Conway. John had two older sisters, Sylvia and Joan. Cyril Conway was a chemistry laboratory assistant. 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. John's young years were difficult for he grew up in Britain at a time of wartime shortages. At primary school John was outstanding and he topped almost every class. Despite not having any clear idea of what mathematics was when he was at primary school, John Conway must have had it firmly fixed in his mind that he would become a mathematician. When he went to be interviewed at age eleven before entering secondary school he was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up and he replied that he wanted to be a mathematician at Cambridge. He excelled at secondary school, not in all his subjects but certainly his performance in mathematics was by far the best of any of the pupils. Mathematics was not the only subject which interested him, however, for he also had spells of deep interest in astronomy and at other times in fossils. The interest in astronomy has remained with him and he lists it as one of his interests today. After leaving seconday school, Conway entered Gonville and Caius College Cambridge to study mathematics. He was awarded his BA in 1959 and began to undertake research in

    Extractions: This entry contributed by Diana Conway English-American mathematician born in Liverpool, England. Conway was educated at the University of Cambridge, and taught at Cambridge as a mathematical logician upon graduation. He remained at Cambridge for many years before joining the Princeton faculty in 1986. At Princeton, he is currently John von Neumann Distinguished Professor of Mathematics), and remains an honorary fellow of Gonville and Caius College. Conway is the author or co-author of at least ten books, and of many expository articles which have had substantial impact not just on research mathematicians but on mathematical amateurs as well. Conway has a rare gift for naming mathematical objects, and for inventing useful mathematical notations. He is perhaps most widely known for his invention and naming of the "game of life " cellular automaton sometimes known as "Conway's game of Life." Conway's joy in doing mathematics is clearly evident in all that he writes.

John Conway (formerly a professor at Cambridge and now at Princeton) has shown that the asymptotic rate of growth of the length of the string is just over 1.3. He has written about the sequence and some similarities with molecular and atomic chemistry with Richard Guy in The Book of Numbers . "Audioactive" is a pun based on the Look and Say method and radioactive elements. Online information includes Stephen Finch's page for Mathsoft on Conway's Constant , my pages on the evolution of the 92 elements and their seven possible orderings , Mario Hilgemeier's writings in Fractal Horizons , on audioactive decay and fractals, and a number of pages (only sometimes available) from Eric Weisstein's CRC Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics on Look and Say Sequence Conway's Constant Conway Sequence , and Cosmological Theorem Go to: Top of page Henry Bottomley's home page 92 audioactive elements Seven orderings for the 92 elements ...

The workshop was based on a course `Geometry and the Imagination' which we had taught twice before at Princeton.

34. John Conway's Game Of Life
    john conway s Game of Life is some kind of Artificial Life simulation. It s written in Java.  
    http://www.bitstorm.org/gameoflife/
    
    Extractions: The Game of Life is not your typical computer game. It is a 'cellular automaton', and was invented by Cambridge mathematician John Conway. This game became widely known when it was mentioned in an article published by Scientific American in 1970. It consists of a collection of cells which, based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or multiply. Depending on the initial conditions, the cells form various patterns throughout the course of the game. More information is available in the Game of Life entry on Wikipedia. To see John Conway's Game of Life, you need a Java-compatible browser. And of course Java-support has to be turned on. Browsers supporting Java are: Choose a figure from the pull-down menu or make one yourself by clicking on the cells with a mouse. A new generation of cells (corresponding to one iteration of the rules) is initiated by the 'Next' button. The 'Start' button advances the game by several generations. Game speed is regulated by the Slow-Fast-Hyper pull-down menu. With the Big-Medium-Small pull-down menu you can change the size of the cells, like you are zooming in or out of the grid.

    Extractions: I’ve been forging iron for over ten years. Balancing a degree in sculpture from the University of Massachusetts with traditional training as a blacksmith, I use old-world techniques to fabricate my unique contemporary designs." "I produce a variety of items for the house and garden; everything from candlesticks to railings and pot-racks to trellises. My aim is to combine artistry with utility. All my interior ironwork is quenched in hot oil to provide a durable yet beautiful finish, which emphasizes the character of the iron. Most of my exterior ironwork is left untreated so that it may age naturally. From rustic to refined, I enjoy producing metalwork of all variety that will endure for generations."

    Extractions: by Paul Callahan The Game of Life (or simply Life) is not a game in the conventional sense. There are no players, and no winning or losing. Once the "pieces" are placed in the starting position, the rules determine everything that happens later. Nevertheless, Life is full of surprises! In most cases, it is impossible to look at a starting position (or pattern ) and see what will happen in the future. The only way to find out is to follow the rules of the game. Play Life Now! Life is played on a grid of square cellslike a chess board but extending infinitely in every direction. A cell can be live or dead . A live cell is shown by putting a marker on its square. A dead cell is shown by leaving the square empty. Each cell in the grid has a neighborhood consisting of the eight cells in every direction including diagonals. To apply one step of the rules, we count the number of live neighbors for each cell. What happens next depends on this number.

    Extractions: This drawing shows a few lines connecting a few points such that each two lines intersect each other exactly once - when one counts common endpoints as intersections. Can one have more lines than points in this way? In this case the number is the same: there are six points and six lines. And in this case it is not possible to add a line between two points which intersects all other lines just once! (Try it) This problem is known as John Conway's Thrackle Problem. A short write-up explains most of what is known about it! (Additions, anyone?) Stephan Wehner ; December 2000. (Yes, the editor of Traffic Life
