About John H. Conway:
In his career, Conway made significant contributions to mathematics in the fields of group theory, number theory, algebra, geometric topology, theoretical physics, combinatorial game theory and geometry. Conway received the Berwick Prize (1971), was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (1981), became a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1992, was the first recipient of the Pólya Prize (LMS) (1987), won the Nemmers Prize in Mathematics (1998) and received the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition (2000) of the American Mathematical Society.
John Conway Spirited Seminar Series:
John Conway Spirited Seminar series started in 2021 by the Department of Mathematics at Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering-LUMS, Pakistan. These seminars allow mathematicians from all over the World to indulge in productive discussions on recently evolved theories, expositions, and research. These seminars are purposefully kept online (through Zoom) to avoid the logistics limitations of inviting a speaker from the mathematically developed World and provide a latitude for researchers and students to benefit from these seminars. Almost all the talks are recorded with the speaker's prior consent, and these recorded talks are available on this website. We strongly believe that staying connected with recent development through seminars is highly important for researchers living in third-world nations like Pakistan. Though John Conway never visited Pakistan, it is an endeavor to live his spirited enthusiasm for promoting mathematics. A humble tribute to his grand legacy and spirited attitude to promoting mathematical discussions. We invite all mathematicians, young researchers, and students to these seminars. You may get all the recordings and updates on upcoming talks on this website.
