We give a presentation of Conway's surreal numbers focusing on the connections with transseries and Hardy fields and trying to simplify when possible the existing treatments.
Conway's surreal numbers were aptly named by Knuth. This note examines how far one can get towards implementing surreals and the arithmetic operations on them so that they execute efficiently. Lazy evaluation and recursive data structures…
We make a number of observations on Conway surreal number theory which may be useful, for further developments, in both in mathematics and theoretical physics. In particular, we argue that the concepts of surreal numbers and matroids can be…
On Cuesta-Conway numbers as an extension of Cantor's ordinals: A short introduction to surreal numbers. The class of Cuesta-Conway numbers, the surreal numbers, can be defined simply, starting from their normal forms (families of…
A brief historical introduction for the enigmatic number Zero is given. The discussions are for popular consumption.
I present and discuss a puzzle about wizards invented by John H. Conway.
This is an introduction into John Conway's beautiful Combinatorial Game Theory, providing precise statements and detailed proofs for the fundamental parts of his theory. (1) Combinatorial game theory, (2) the GROUP of games, (3) the FIELD…
The aim of this paper is to investigate some properties, recurrence relations and identities involving degenerate hyperharmonic numbers, hyperharmonic numbers and degenerate harmonic numbers. In particular, we derive an explicit expression…
We prove a curious identity for the Bernoulli numbers.

Some mathematical properties of the Erd\"os number and its formal equivalents are shown. An informetric equivalent is presented: the Rousseau number. This contribution honors Ronald Rousseau for his 73th birthday.
A homage to the life and mathematics of John K. S. McKay. Obituary for the Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society.
This letter is a comment on an article by T.C. Halsey and M.H. Jensen in Nature about using recurrence times as a reliable tool to estimate multifractal dimensions of strange attractors. Our aim is to emphasize that in the recent…
Work in progress concerning alternative formalizations of arithmetic.
We collect here various conjectures on congruences made by the author in a series of papers, some of which involve binary quadratic forms and other advanced theories. Part A consists of 100 unsolved conjectures of the author while…
A slightly(!!!) philosophical article which looks at some interesting overlaps between some fine mathematical brains and a celestial mechanics legend from Japan.
