Prekjuce (u subotu, 11. aprila), preminuo je John Conway, u 82. godini, od
korona virusa [1].
Conway je bio jedan od najznacajnijih matematicara 20. veka, sa sirokim
spektrom oblasti istrazivanja --- od teorije grupa i teorije brojeva,
preko topologije i geometrije, pa do analize [2].
U krugovima fizike, poznat je po Free Will teoremi [3,4,5], iz oblasti
fundamentalne kvantne mehanike, koju je dokazao zajedno sa S. Kochen-om
2006. godine.
U sirokim naucno-popularnim krugovima najprepoznatljiviji je kao izumitelj
Game of Life [6].
Slava mu!
Pozdrav svima,
Marko
