List of things named after John Horton Conway

This is a list of things named after the English mathematician John Horton Conway (1937–2020). Conway algebra – an algebraic structure introduced by Paweł Traczyk and Józef H. Przytycki Conway's base 13 function – a function used as a counterexample to the converse of the intermediate value theorem Conway chained arrow notation – a notation for expressing certain extremely large numbers Conway circle – a geometrical construction based on extending the sides of a triangle Conway criterion – a criterion for identifying prototiles that admit a periodic tiling Conway group – any of the groups Co0, Co1, Co2, or Co3 Conway group Co1 – one of the sporadic simple groups discovered by Conway in 1968 Conway group Co2 – one of the sporadic simple groups discovered by Conway in 1968 Conway group Co3 – one of the sporadic simple groups discovered by Conway in 1968 Conway knot – a curious knot having the same Alexander polynomial and Conway polynomial as the unknot Conway notation (knot theory) – a notation invented by Conway for describing knots in knot theory Conway polyhedron notation – notation invented by Conway used to describe polyhedra Conway polynomial (finite fields) – an irreducible polynomial used in finite field theory Conway puzzle – a packing problem invented by Conway using rectangular blocks Conway sphere – a 2-sphere intersecting a given knot in the 3-sphere or 3-ball transversely in four points Conway triangle notation – notation which allows trigonometric functions of a triangle to be managed algebraically Conway's 99-graph problem – a problem invented by Conway asking if a certain undirected graph exists Conway sequence – a self-referential sequence in which each term describes the digits of the previous term Conway's constant – a constant used in the study of the Look-and-say sequence Conway's dead fly problem – does there exist a Danzer set whose points are separated at a bounded distance from each other?
