Description:
Professor Larry Schumaker's 60th birthday provides an excellent opportunity to organize a meeting in
approximation theory. The symposium will honor his many outstanding contributions to this field, his
unselfish devotion to the promotion of approximation in the mathematical community, and his unceasing
commitment to the education of the younger generation of mathematicians. It is also an occasion to
celebrate the field of approximation theory at large, to highlight and compliment its past achievements, and
to explore its future.
Our aim is to bring together researchers from diverse areas of approximation theory, to stimulate
international collaboration, and to promote interaction and the exchange of ideas. We welcome the
participation of both pure and applied mathematicians working in approximation theory from all around the
world. We especially encourage young mathematicians and graduate students to attend.
Speakers: Ward Cheney (Austin, USA), Charles Chui (Stanford, USA), Zbigniew Ciesielski (Sopot, Poland), Ron DeVore (Columbia, USA), Nira Dyn (Tel-Aviv, Israel), Manfred von Golitschek (Wuerzburg, Germany), Jacob Korevaar (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), George G. Lorentz (Shanks Lecturer , Chico, USA), Sergej Mikhajlovich Nikol'skii (Moscow, Russia), Richard Varga (Kent, USA)
