In the late 1960s British mathematician John Conway invented a virtual mathematical machine that operates on a two-dimensional array of square cell. Each cell takes two states, live and dead. The cells’ states are updated simultaneously and in discrete time. A dead cell comes to life if it has exactly three live neighbours. A live cell remains alive if two or three of its neighbours are alive, otherwise the cell dies. Conway’s Game of Life became the most programmed solitary game and the most known cellular automaton. The book brings together results of forty years of study into computational, ... Read more

Reviews for Game of Life Cellular Automata
From the reviews: “This volume’s 27 papers offer some systematic methods and rigorous theorems that exhibit the study of Conway’s game and its variations, emerging out of the realm of merely recreational mathematics. … this unique book will have great value as both a state-of-the-art summary and a collection of proposals for new directions to explore. Summing Up: Highly ... Read more
