It is proposed to hold an international conference on Approximation Theory and Related Topics in Gatlinburg, TN on May 18-22, 2004. Approximately 200 mathematical scientists from academia, industry, and government laboratories from around the world are expected to participate. The conference would continue the tradition of holding a triennial meeting for workers in the field, and will be the eleventh in a series of similar conferences. These meetings have traditionally been the main general international conferences on this topic for more than 30 years. The meeting will feature 7 one-hour survey lectures on topics of current interest (including classical approximation, wavelets, multivariate splines, nonlinear approximation, neural networks, surface approximation, and the mathematics of imaging). In addition, it would provide a forum for the awarding of the Fourth Vasil A. Popov Prize in Approximation Theory. The winner will also present a one-hour survey lecture. The conference is planned for five days, and would result in a carefully reviewed and edited conference proceedings.The conference will bring together researchers and graduate students for in-depth discussions on all aspects of Approximation Theory, which is a subject with a long and rich history. Its current vitality is attested to by the large number of specialized conferences, new and well-established journals, and recently-founded research centers devoted to the subject. In addition to providing a forum for the exchange of ideas, the meeting will also help identify trends and areas for future research. The conference will help educate graduate students by exposing them to the latest research and helping them identify problems in approximation theory and related areas. Students, young researchers, minorities, and women will have the opportunity to meet leaders in the field, as well as to present their own research. Two-thirds of the requested funding will be devoted to supporting these groups, and senior researchers will be asked to help identify candidates to participate. In recent years approximation theory has found more and more applications in such diverse areas as computer-aided geometric design, image and signal processing, geophysical and medical modeling, PDE, robotics, and elsewhere. These applications have resulted in the development of several new subject areas of approximation theory, including neural networks, radial basis functions, and wavelets, and the subject has become more and more interdisciplinary. This research will have a major impact on medicine, science, engineering and information technology for years to come.

建议于2004年5月18日至22日在田纳西州加特林堡举行有关近似理论和相关主题的国际会议。预计来自学术界，工业和政府实验室的大约200名数学科学家预计将参加。该会议将延续为该领域的工人举行三年期会议的传统，并将是一系列类似会议的第十一会议。传统上，这些会议一直是有关该主题的主要国际大会，已有30多年的历史了。 这次会议将针对当前感兴趣的主题（包括经典近似，小波，多元花样，非线性近似，神经网络，表面近似和成像的数学）进行7个一小时的调查讲座。此外，它将提供一个论坛，以授予近似理论的第四届Vasil A. Popov奖。获胜者还将举行一个小时的调查讲座。该会议计划进行五天，并将导致仔细审查和编辑的会议记录。该会议将召集研究人员和研究生，讨论有关近似理论的各个方面的深入讨论，这是一个悠久而丰富的历史的主题。 目前的活力得到了大量专业会议，新的和公认的期刊以及最近创建的研究中心的大量专业会议。除了提供思想交流论坛外，会议还将帮助确定未来研究的趋势和领域。该会议将通过将研究生暴露于最新研究中，并帮助他们确定近似理论及相关领域的问题来帮助对研究生进行教育。学生，年轻的研究人员，少数民族和妇女将有机会与该领域的领导人见面，并展示自己的研究。要求的资金中有三分之二将用于支持这些群体，并将要求高级研究人员帮助确定候选人参加。近年来，近似理论在诸如计算机辅助设计，图像和信号处理，地球物理和医学建模，PDE，机器人技术和其他地方等不同领域中发现了越来越多的应用。这些应用导致了近似理论的几个新主题领域的发展，包括神经网络，径向基函数和小波，并且该受试者变得越来越跨学科。 这项研究将在未来几年中对医学，科学，工程和信息技术产生重大影响。
