Conway, Gordon

Conway and Gordon are mathematicians known for their work in topology and combinatorics, particularly in understanding how knots and links can be embedded in three-dimensional space. Their research often explores how complex intertwined loops (linked or knotted structures) behave when placed inside three-dimensional objects, such as the lattice-like structures in combinatorial topology. Their theorems and insights help clarify how such structures can or cannot be untangled or simplified, contributing to a deeper understanding of spatial relationships and properties in mathematics and related fields.
