John Horton Conway (1937–2020) was a renowned British mathematician known for his work in various areas of mathematics, including combinatorial game theory, number theory, and coding theory. He is perhaps best known for inventing the "Game of Life," a cellular automaton that simulates the evolution of cellular patterns based on simple rules. The Game of Life has fascinated mathematicians and computer scientists alike, serving as an example of how complex behaviors can arise from simple rules.
