Twenty Years of Wavelets; Chicago, IL, Spring 2009

这项奖励将为参加将于2009年5月15-17日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥德保罗大学举行的“小波的二十年”会议的研究人员提供支持。将向目前没有持有NSF奖项的与会者提供支持，但一些全体演讲者除外。据了解，大部分资金将用于研究生、博士后和初级教师，但某些高级参与者也将获得资金。该计划将包括大约13名受邀演讲者，他们将发表一小时的演讲，以及一些贡献的演讲。这次会议的主要目的是提供一个论坛，介绍小波理论的最新发展，以及传播最新成果和讨论突出问题。为了实现这一目标，另一个同样重要的目标是让年轻的数学家、女性数学家和来自其他代表性不足群体的数学家参与进来。预计将有几名初级科学家和研究生参加会议。

This award will provide support to defray expenses of researchers participating in the Conference ``Twenty Years of Wavelets" that will take place May 15-17, 2009 at DePaul University, Chicago, IL. Support will be provided to participants who do not currently hold NSF awards, with exceptions made for some plenary speakers. It is understood that much of the funding will be directed to graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty but that certain senior participants will be funded as well.The program will feature about thirteen invites speakers, who will deliver one-hour lectures, and a number of contributed talks. The principal objective of this conference is to provide a forum for presentation of the current state of the art of the theory of wavelets as well as for dissemination of recent results and discussion of outstanding problems. Another, equally important, objective towards this end is to involve young mathematicians, female mathematicians, and mathematicians from other under-represented groups. Several junior scientists and graduate students are expected to participate at the meeting.
