SchumakerDMS-1243266 The investigator and his colleagues organize an international conference on Approximation Theory, to be held in San Antonio, TX on April 7-10, 2013. The meeting engages about 150 mathematical scientists from academia, industry, and government laboratories from around the world. It continues the tradition of triennial meetings in the subject which began in 1973, and which have been the premier comprehensive meetings in the area. The meeting features eight one-hour survey lectures on topics of current interest (including applications of radial basis functions in partial differential equations, isogeometric analysis, multivariate orthogonal polynomials, nonlinear approximation, rational interpolation, subdivision methods, and wavelets). The Seventh Vasil A. Popov Prize in Approximation Theory is awarded at the meeting, with the winner giving one of the plenary lectures. The conference runs for four days, and includes about 130 additional invited and contributed presentations. As with all of the previous meetings, a carefully reviewed and edited conference proceedings is planned. Participants in this conference present recent advances in approximation theory, a field of mathematics that has had a major impact on science and engineering for well over 100 years, and that has enabled concrete technological advances in the United States. For example, the mathematics in this area has had significant impact on computer-aided design and manufacture (a key tool in the aircraft and automotive industries), animation and computer graphics (major tools in the video gaming and movie industries), data compression and processing (critical to information technology applications such as HDTV or medical imaging), geophysical problems (such as weather modeling and oil exploration), uncertainty quantification (which plays an important role in environmental and climate modeling as well as nanotechnology), and modeling in the business world. This conference brings together students, junior researchers, and leaders in the field from around the world, aids young researchers in advancing their careers, and attracts PhD students to work in the subject.

研究者和他的同事们将于2013年4月7日至10日在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市组织一次关于近似理论的国际会议。会议邀请了来自世界各地学术界、工业界和政府实验室的约150名数学科学家参加。它延续了1973年开始的该主题三年一次会议的传统，这是该领域最重要的综合性会议。会议的特色是八个一小时的调查讲座，主题是当前感兴趣的（包括径向基函数在偏微分方程中的应用，等几何分析，多元正交多项式，非线性逼近，有理插值，细分方法和小波）。第七届Vasil A. Popov近似理论奖在会议上颁发，获奖者作一次全体演讲。会议将持续四天，并包括约130个额外的受邀和贡献演讲。与以往所有会议一样，会议记录将经过仔细审查和编辑。本次会议的与会者介绍了近似值理论的最新进展，近似值理论是一个数学领域，在100多年来对科学和工程产生了重大影响，并使美国的具体技术取得了进步。例如，该领域的数学对计算机辅助设计和制造（飞机和汽车工业的关键工具）、动画和计算机图形学（视频游戏和电影工业的主要工具）、数据压缩和处理（对高清电视或医学成像等信息技术应用至关重要）、地球物理问题（如天气建模和石油勘探）、不确定性量化（在环境和气候建模以及纳米技术中发挥重要作用），以及商业世界中的建模。本次会议汇集了来自世界各地的学生、初级研究人员和该领域的领导者，帮助年轻研究人员推进他们的职业生涯，并吸引博士生在该领域工作。
