This book brings together the impact of Prof. John Horton Conway,
the playful and legendary mathematician's wide range of
contributions in science which includes research areas-Game of Life
in cellular automata, theory of finite groups, knot theory, number
theory, combinatorial game theory, and coding theory. It contains
transcripts where some eminent scientists have shared their
first-hand experience of interacting with Conway, as well as some
invited research articles from the experts focusing on Game of
Life, cellular automata, and the diverse research directions that
started with Conway's Game of Life. The book paints a portrait of
Conway's research life and philosophical direction in mathematics
and is of interest to whoever wants to explore his contribution to
the history and philosophy of mathematics and computer science. It
is designed as a small tribute to Prof. Conway whom we lost on
April 11, 2020.
