Twelfth International Conference Approximation Theory San Antonio, Texas March 4 - 8, 2007 |
The Alamo in San Antonio |
 Menger Hotel |
This conference is a continuation of the earlier conferences on
approximation theory held in Austin (1973, 1976, 1980, 1992),
College Station (1983, 1986, 1989, 1995), Nashville (1998), St. Louis (2001), and Gatlinburg (2004).
These meetings have traditionally been the main general
international conferences
on this topic for the past 30 years, and have been well attended by mathematicians
from academia, industry, and government.
As with the previous meetings, the objective of this conference is to provide a forum for workers in the field to meet and discuss current research. The meeting will feature seven one-hour survey lectures on topics of special current interest (including wavelets and frames, abstract approximation, nonlinear approximation, multivariate splines, subdivision methods, mathematical signal processing, and radial basis functions). In addition, the conference will provide a forum for the awarding of the Fifth Vasil A. Popov Prize in Approximation Theory, with the winner also presenting a lecture. A proceedings containing survey papers by the invited speakers and contributed papers will be published within a year after the conference. |

 Bridge over San Antonio River |
 San Antonio's Tower of the Americas |
The venue for the conference is San Antonio, Texas, with an
abundance of vacation spots and touristy activities going on year round.
The most well-known attraction is the Alamo, the site where 189 Texas defenders fought
4000 Mexican troops for 13 days during the Texas revolution against Mexico.
Located just one block from the conference hotel, participants may want to take this
opportunity to visit this historic site.
The nearby River Walk provides a wealth of restaurants and shops. San Antonio has many restaurants offering a wide array of cuisines. However, one should not come to San Antonio and not eat Mexican food. One of the most eye-catching restaurants is just a few blocks from the conference hotel in the Tower of the Americas. The 750-foot structure brings patrons up in glass-walled elevators to the restaurant floor which offers a full panoramic view of the city. Other local attractions include amusement parks like Sea World and Fiesta Texas, and scores of parks and museums. Malls are also abundant around the San Antonio area with the River Center, and various shopping centers just up 281 in the Quarry, Northstar, Crossroads, and Huebner Oaks malls. |
