Twenty Years of Wavelets; Chicago, IL, Spring 2009

该奖项将为参加将于2009年5月15日至17日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥德保罗大学举行的“小波二十年”会议的研究人员提供费用支持。支持将提供给目前没有获得NSF奖的参与者，但一些全体会议发言人除外。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助。该计划将邀请大约13名演讲者，他们将进行一个小时的演讲，并进行一些贡献演讲。本次会议的主要目的是提供一个论坛，介绍小波理论的最新技术状况，以及传播最近的成果和讨论突出的问题。另一个同样重要的目标是让年轻数学家、女数学家和其他未被充分代表的群体的数学家参与进来。预计将有几位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.
