    WINNING WAYS FOR YOUR MATHEMATICAL PLAYS
    ELWYN R. BERLEKAMP / JOHN H. CONWAY / RICHARD K. GUY
    This classic on games and how to play them intelligently is being re-issued in a new, four volume edition. This book has laid the foundation to a mathematical approach to playing games. The wise authors wield witty words, which wangle wonderfully winning ways. In Volume 1, the authors do the Spade Work, presenting theories and techniques to "dissect" games of varied structures ...

    THE SYMMETRIES OF THINGS
    JOHN H. CONWAY / HEIDI BURGIEL / CHAIM GOODMAN-STRAUSS
    Start with a single shape. Repeat it in some way—translation, reflection over a line, rotation around a point—and you have created symmetry.Symmetry is a fundamental phenomenon in art, science, and nature that has been captured, described, and analyzed using mathematical concepts for a long time. Inspired by the geometric intuition of Bill Thurston and empowered by his own anal...

    ON QUATERNIONS AND OCTONIONS
    JOHN H. CONWAY / DEREK A. SMITH
    This book investigates the geometry of quaternion and octonion algebras. Following a comprehensive historical introduction, the book illuminates the special properties of 3- and 4-dimensional Euclidean spaces using quaternions, leading to enumerations of the corresponding finite groups of symmetries. The second half of the book discusses the less f ...

    ON NUMBERS AND GAMES
    JOHN H. CONWAY
    Originally written to define the relation between the theories of transfinite numbers and mathematical games, the resulting work is a mathematically sophisticated but eminently enjoyable guide to game theory. By defining numbers as the strengths of positions in certain games, the author arrives at a new class that includes both real numbers and ordinal numbers: surreal numbers....

    THE MAGIC THEOREM
    JOHN H. CONWAY / HEIDI BURGIEL / CHAIM GOODMAN-STRAUSS
    The Magic Theorem: a Greatly-Expanded, Much-Abridged Edition of The Symmetries of Things presents a wonder- fully unique re-imagining of the classic book, The Symmetries of Things. Begun as a standard second edition by the original author team, it changed in scope following the passing of John Conway. This version of the book fulfills the original vision for the project: an ele...
