Second announcement
1. General background
The Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey, will be hosting the sixth international
conference on Computational Methods and Function Theory (CMFT 2009)
to be held June 08–12, 2009.
The general theme of the meeting concerns various aspects of
interaction of complex variables and scientific computation,
including related topics from function theory, approximation theory
and numerical analysis. Another important aspect of the CMFT
meetings, previously held in Valparaiso 1989, Penang 1994, Nicosia
1997, Aveiro 2001 and Joensuu 2005,
is to promote the creation and maintenance of contacts with scientists
from diverse cultures.
The international organizing committee of CMFT 2009 consists of
M. Kocatepe (Bilkent University, Turkey),
St. Ruscheweyh (Würzburg University, Germany),
E. B. Saff (Vanderbilt University, USA),
I. Laine (University of Joensuu, Finland) . The local organizing committee of CMFT 2009
includes S. Gergün (Çankaya University), A.
Goncharov (Bilkent University), M. Kocatepe (Bilkent University), Natalya Zheltukhina (Bilkent University).
2. Mathematical program
