This is the third meeting organised by the New Zealand Approximation Theory Group
(following those in
Christchurch 1999
and
Westport 2002).
The topic Approximation and Harmonic Analysis
will be interpreted broadly.
We plan to allocate lots of time without lectures for informal interactions,
including a conference trip to a Gulf Island (probably Waiheke).
Currently confirmed speakers include:
John Benedetto (Maryland),
Carl de Boor (Wisconsin),
Len Bos (Calgary),
Pete Casazza (Missouri),
Xuan Duong (Sydney),
Seng Luan Lee (Singapore),
David Levin (Tel Aviv),
Detlef Mache (Bochum),
Vilmos Totik (South Florida and Szeged)
We expect most participants to stay at either
O'Rorke Hall ($NZ 59 night incl breakfast)
or
Quest on Mount apartments
($NZ 118 studio, $135 one room, $180 two rooms)
which are located by the University (in the downtown area).
About the location
Auckland, with roughly 1 million inhabitants,
is the largest city in New Zealand.
It is built on an isthmus of 48 volcanoes (none currently active) with a
warm coastal climate and great beaches.
Participants might also be interested in the meetings
ANZIAM 2005
(Napier, Jan 30 to Feb 3) and
Geometry: Interactions with Algebra and Analysis (Auckland, 14-18 Feb).
