http://www.tech.org/~stuart/life/rules.html

Extractions: The Game of Life was invented by John Conway (as you might have gathered). The game is played on a field of cells, each of which has eight neighbors (adjacent cells). A cell is either occupied (by an organism) or not. The rules for deriving a generation from the previous one are these: If an occupied cell has 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 occupied neighbors, the organism dies (0, 1: of loneliness; 4 thru 8: of overcrowding). If an occupied cell has two or three neighbors, the organism survives to the next generation. If an unoccupied cell has three occupied neighbors, it becomes occupied. The original article describing the game can be found in the April 1970 issue of Scientific American , page 120. C language implementation of the algorithm as a solution to a homework problem. Java implementation of the game. Much cooler than mine. Another Java implementation of the game. Also much cooler than mine. A PostScript implementation, of all things. Very cool!

Extractions: This is the new location for the Game of Life page that I began in 1995 while at Johns Hopkins. If you have a link to the old URL, I'd appreciate it a lot if you could update it. I'm cleaning up some broken links for this release. Otherwise, it is roughly where I left it in 1998. The web has exploded with Life and general cellular automata resources since I began work on this page. An excellent starting point is the Open Directory Life index , maintained by Mirek Wojtowicz. My email address is callahanp@acm.org . Despite my inactivity on these pages, I still read this mail regularly and appreciate comments. I don't always remember to answer it, so send me a reminder if you don't hear from me in a couple of weeks. Paul catalog and take a look. I should mention that while writing this page, I have generally assumed that the reader has at least heard of the Game of Life. But if you haven't, please don't let that stand in your way.
Life
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.

http://www.cs.uidaho.edu/~casey931/seminar/nim.html

Extractions: Perhaps you recognize this picture as being a game. A game that is played with toothpicks. A game that falls into the classification of Nim-type games This is a game for two players. It is traditionally played with toothpicks, but can be played with pebbles, scraps of paper, or any kind of marking piece. At each turn, a player may remove any number of toothpicks from exactly one row. The player that starts, for example, can remove one, two, or three toothpicks from the row with three toothpicks, either or both toothpicks from the row with two toothpicks, or the single toothpick that sits alone in a row by itself. The player who removes the last toothpick looses. Play the game a few times and see if you can figure out the strategy that will always let you win. Mathematician John Conway has long been fascinated by these games, and wrote the book On Numbers and Games (New York: Academic Press, Inc. 1976) to show the relationship between these games and theories of transfinite numbers. Thus, developing strategies for always winning the games is also developing strategies for understanding theories of numbers a pursuit that is worth a school child's time.

I was God. There were two main characters, Alice and Bill, and a third character named C speaks from the sky. In the beginning, they find a stone inscribed 'And Conway created numbers.'" After a frantic search, Conway gave up looking for the book, and trundled back to the lounge. "I daydreamed for weeks about these wonderful numbers. I often do that. I have what I call a 'white hot period' which lasts for a few days. I can't sleep, and I am completely absorbed with a problem. This used to get my wife terribly, terribly upset. After the white hot phase, I enter a daydreaming phase for a few weeks." He frowned slightly. "These phases are becoming less and less frequent."
Walker Art Center : The Shock Of The View : John Frederick Kensett
A critique of Kensett's painting Mount Washington from the Valley of conway.
http://www.walkerart.org/salons/shockoftheview/object/sv_object2_kensett.html

Extractions: John Frederick Kensett's Mount Washington from the Valley of Conway majestically illustrates 19th-century America's hopes and ambitions with convincing realism and sentiment. A rocky dirt path leads into a nest of houses , a church and a few town buildings whose rooftops and steeples peak out from a sheltering valley of trees and farmlands. Resting below the massive Mount Washington off in the distance, the valley is protectively enclosed by the mountains of the Appalachian Mountain range. This hilltop panoramic view personalizes the painting, giving the viewer a physical and spiritual sense of coming home. A diminutive figure can be seen reclining under a shady tree while tending to wandering sheep that dot the hilltop. Another figure is walking slowly along further down the path, as if taking in the scene around him.

http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Conway.html

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.
Conway Tool & Forge :: Hand Wrought Iron Made In The Hills
john Passiglia, blacksmith, specializes in traditional as well as modern handwrought iron. His shop, the conway Tool Forge, is located in conway, MA. home of the flying hotdog.
http://www.ironjohnny.com/

Extractions: Ive 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."

http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Conway.html

Extractions: John H Conway 's father was a chemistry laboratory assistant. John became interested in mathematics at a very early age and his mother 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: Rutgers University Department of Physics and Astronomy Research at the Collider Detector at Fermilab Professors John S. Conway, Thomas J. Devlin, Amit Lath, Sunil Somalwar, and Terence L. Watts Rutgers is a collaborator in the construction and operation of CDF , the Collider Detector at Fermilab Rutgers faculty, postdoctoral participants, and students have helped upgrade major parts of the trigger and data acquisition system for the new runs, in particular extending the multiprocessor "computer farm," the third level of the trigger that selects the most interesting events. A new effort was also recently completed to improve the second level trigger for tau leptons, which due to their mass can be a result of processes involving the charged and/or neutral Higgs bosons. This trigger employs neural network chips to select calorimeter energy deposits that originate from tau decays to hadrons and electrons, while rejecting the large background from quark and gluon jets. CDF will undergo a major upgrade in the coming few years, and will begin a major new set of running periods in mid 1999, called Run II. The Tevatron will be upgraded as well to provide a factor of ten more luminosity, which will in turn lead to the production of hundreds of top quark events and significantly extend the range of discovery of new phenomena.
