Abstract
The late John Horton Conway had a gift for making complicated mathematics appear simple. One piece of his work helped to solve the major problem of group theory and led mathematicians to realize that if something holds for all simple groups, it has to be true for all groups. He also contributed the concept of surreal numbers and invented popular puzzles such as the Game of Life.
