NASHVILLE, Tenn. ñ An international mathematics conference at Georgia
Institute of Technology in Atlanta will be held in honor of
Vanderbilt’s Edward B. Saff, professor of mathematics and executive
dean of the College of Arts and Science.
"Constructive Functions Tech-04," Nov. 7-9, will pay tribute to Saff
for his research contributions and his efforts in building scientific
cooperation among mathematicians of many nations. The conference is
attracting some 100 mathematicians from around the world, several of
whom have worked with Saff in his efforts to promote international
cooperation and expand collaborative opportunities for young
mathematicians in other countries.
Saff’s international activities are just one aspect of a long and
distinguished career in mathematics. He is the recipient of both
Fulbright and Guggenheim fellowships, has received several awards for
his research, has had continual research funding from the National
Science Foundation, and has served as an adviser to state and federal
government agencies. He has published more than 200 research articles
and either co-authored or co-edited 15 books. He is editor in chief of
two research journals, Constructive Approximation and Computational Methods and Function Theory.
