How to pronounce “conway” in English

Zoe Conway reporting.

The Conway knot, it's this weird guy.

Kellyanne Conway is going to have to twist this.

So Conway-- this was the late '60s-- he had one of those grids.

And Conway chose his rules to make the most unpredictable and interesting way that things evolve.

Bill Conway, who created the Wildlife Conservation Society.

So the Conway knot is what we call a mutant of this other knot that people had already studied before.

So I read the Conway knot is considered what you would call the 11-crossing knot, right?

So the Conway knot-- OK, there's two reasons it's hard to chose it's not sliced.

And Tim Conway did this character.

My friend Patrick Conway just wrote a great JAMA editorial about the pathway for rural hospitals.

John Horton Conway.

One is Conway's law.

And this was the-- Conway called these spaceships

And this was Conway in Cambridge writing about it.

And so you get the Conway knot by starting with this other knot and changing it just a little bit.

So what was originally special about the Conway knot is that it had this friend that it was super similar to.

And so when I heard about the Conway knot problem, I thought, well, I'll try to build another knot that has the same space as the Conway knot.

get completely away from the fact that Conway knot is like this weird bugger.

You mean the topological one for the Conway knot, I guess?

And these are men who-- Tim Conway did a show called "The Carol Burnett Show."

She wrote a good biography of John Conway called, "Genius at Play."

The most accurate person is actually Kellyanne Conway, who goes on TV, almost exactly predicts the electoral college, and is laughed at during the entire interview.

And then finally I discovered that Conway was going to be at math camp.

And then so I sought Conway out-- He was one of my heroes, by the way.

So I talked with Susannah Conway in England.

Steve: I should add that Simon Conway Morris is a Christian.

This was a problem that was proposed by John Conway over 50 years ago and has eluded countless mathematicians since then.

Yeah, the Conway knot was discovered by Conway in the late '60s.

But know that-- know that you solve the Conway knot, what other applications does that have for topology or elsewhere?

One is that it's really similar to the knot Conway built it from, which actually is slice.

And it says, Conway, Game of Life, pages 34 to 38.

And everybody told me I had to talk to John Conway about Coxeter.

Someone in TechCrunch described him as the Ron Conway of the Middle East.

I mean, as Ron Conway says in the movie, you can't stop the technology.

responses to Gould comes from the Cambridge University Paleontologist Simon Conway Morris.

There's three books I'll quickly recommend here: Gordon Conway's The Doubly Green Revolution; two local folks Tomorrow's Table; Pamela Ronald is a genetic engineer at UC Davis married

Mostly this is drawing on the work of a biologist named Simon Conway Morris who has discovered these patterns that occur over and over and over and over again where even genes

okay so a a a long uh a long ago example of this meeting Conway is if you know

In fact, it's so subtle that Conway himself couldn't prove that this knot, his new knot wasn't just actually the same thing as what he started with.

That's part of why it's so hard to show that Conway knot is not slice.

Do you think there's a potential to turn your approach for the Conway knot into a general algorithm to decide whether any knot is slice?

I guess-- so the disc-- the topological disc that we know about for the Conway knot, that's going to--

At one point I borrowed a book from the library that had an explanation of Conway's Game of Life in basic.

It's a shame that the security guards didn't realize that you were the Conway responsible for Life.

So we had to create a organizational structure that would get around Conway's law.

>>> You mentioned Tim Conway, who I'm old enough to remember seeing on the Carol Burnett show when I was a kid.

is a cellular automaton, which is similar to Conway's Life.

things that aren't based on those principles that are in fact life Conway's Game of Life which happens on a
