The free will theorem of John H. Conway and Simon B. Kochen states that if we have a free will in the sense that our choices are not a function of the past, then, subject to certain assumptions, so must some elementary particles. Conway and Kochen's paper was published in Foundations of Physics in 2006. [1]

The full set of fundamental transformations and operations on 2-tangles, alongside the elementary tangles 0, ∞, ±1 and ±2. The trefoil knot has Conway notation [3].. In knot theory, Conway notation, invented by John Horton Conway, is a way of describing knots that makes many of their properties clear.

An update of the first part of the 1981 book that presented surreal numbers and the analysis of games to a broader audience: Berlekamp, Conway, and Guy, Winning Ways for ...
Arrangements of Conway's soldiers to reach rows 1, 2, 3 and 4. The soldiers marked "B" represent an alternative to those marked "A". Conway's Soldiers or the checker-jumping problem is a one-person mathematical game or puzzle devised and analyzed by mathematician John Horton Conway in 1961.
A new edition of the Sunday School songbook entitled Deseret Sunday School Songs was published in 1909. Following the format of the Songs of Zion hymnbook, it was expanded and printed with two-staff notation instead of the three-staff format of the Psalmody. Deseret Sunday School Songs outlasted the Psalmody, being used in the LDS Church until ...
The angel problem is a question in combinatorial game theory proposed by John Horton Conway. The game is commonly referred to as the angels and devils game. [1] The game is played by two players called the angel and the devil. It is played on an infinite chessboard (or equivalently the points of a 2D lattice).
