| Summary:
|
Angloamerický matematik John Horton Conway byl všestrannou a charismatickou postavou, která významně ovlivnila teorie čísel, grup, her, uzlů, dynamických systémů i rekreační matematiku. Proslul svéráznou povahou i nekonvenčním přístupem k řešení problémů. Tento článek shrnuje stručně jeho neobvyklou životní cestu a představuje čtyři vybrané oblasti z jeho bohaté tvorby: nadreálná čísla, teorii kombinatorických her, hru života a klasifikaci sporadických grup.
