Twelveth International Conference on Approximation Theory

这笔赠款是为了支持为期一周的近似理论国际会议。会议的目的是将世界各地的研究人员聚集在一起，介绍他们在这一领域的最新工作，并讨论该领域的未来方向。近似理论影响着数学、工程和科学的许多领域。它的许多应用包括计算机辅助设计(在汽车、飞机和电影行业特别重要)、计算机辅助成像(在医学科学中很重要)，以及工程结构建模和分析的计算方法(用于解决各种军事和安全方面的重要问题)。这次会议将把顶尖的资深人士以及刚刚进入该领域的研究生和年轻研究人员聚集在一起，旨在帮助培养年轻人才，以增强美国未来的数学和科学能力。

This grant is to support a week-long international conference in Approximation Theory. The purpose of the meeting is to bring together researchers from around the world to present their latest work in this field, and to discuss future directions for the field. Approximation theory impacts many areas of mathematics, engineering, and science. Some of its many applications include computer-aided design (especially important in the automobile, aircraft, and movie industries), computer-aided imaging (important in the medical sciences), and computational methods for modeling and analyzing engineering structures (useful for solving a variety of problems of military and security importance). The conference will bring leading senior people together with graduate students and young researchers just entering the field, with the aim of assisting in the development of young talent to bolster U.S. mathematical and scientific capabilities for the future.
