International Conference, Special Functions 2000: Perspective and Future Directions

该奖项是对特殊功能理论领域的一次会议的部分支持。会议的主要重点将是特殊函数在数论、量子群、数学物理、组合学和计算机代数中的应用。会议的这种多学科性质使其成为该领域本身及其应用发展过程中的一件大事。这次会议将与北约资助的高级研究所的会议同时举行，将吸引来自许多不同国家的该领域的领先研究人员和许多年轻的研究人员。这次会议将与国际方案司共同支持。

This award is for the partial support of a conference in the field of Theory of Special Functions. The main emphasis of the conference will be on application of special functions in Number Theory, Quantum Groups, Mathematical Physics, Combinatorics and Computer Algebra. Such a multidisciplinary character of the conference makes it a significant event in the development of the field itself and its applications. The conference will be held in conjunction with the session of the Advanced Study Institute funded by NATO and will attract leading researchers in the field from many different countries and many young investigators. The conference will be jointly supported with the Division of International Programs.
