The Man Who Played Math: Remembering John Conway
This book collects essays exploring the life and work of John Conway, the brilliant mathematician who passed away in 2020 at age 82. Conway was living proof that you could become a successful mathematician by following your curiosity, without worrying about appearing “serious.”
Everything Conway touched turned into a game. The people around him, inspired by his penetrating originality, became part of that game. Unfortunately, many of Conway’s remarkable works had remained untranslated into English. This book aims to correct that oversight.
Inviting readers into Conway’s magical world, this collection celebrates his playful genius and lasting contributions to mathematics.
