My current schedule (for Fall'02, i.e., 3sep-13dec).
This fall, I am teaching CS717, and MA443.
Look for my former students.
Selected recent (and not so recent) articles on approximation theory written at UW (or elsewhere) are available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.wisc.edu/Approx. Here is a clickable list of the various files there, along with various sublists, organized by author, topic, or year (it's a clickable version of the AAA_readme file there). E.g., here is the (small) subset of these (co)authored by me. Here is one view of my publications, from MathSciNet.
Click here for a list of errata for the third edition of [Conte and de Boor, Elementary Numerical Analysis: An Algorithmic Approach], and here for that list of errata for the various printings of [Carl de Boor, A Practical Guide to Splines], and for that list of errata for [Carl de Boor, A Practical Guide to Splines (revised edition)]. Check out the latest versions of the various programs and drivers in that latter book. Have a look at the Handbook for CAGD.
There is information about multivariate polynomial interpolation.
Click Journal of Approximation Theory (JAT) (published by Academic Press ) for information about that journal (including recently accepted and published papers) as well as for email and postal addresses of many approximators and much, much more. Ditto for Constructive Approximation (published by Springer-Verlag ( ) which publishes many other journals). Ditto for East Journal on Approximations. Search their tables of content, singly or combined, (and thank Paul Nevai for this handy tool). There is also Approximation down under, and the at-net for Approximation all over, and Amos Ron 's list of homepages of approximators et al . Finally, there is an introduction to AT, also the historical view.
A spline bibliography is available.
For links to various publishers, journals, people, resources, see the Ilas Information Center (IIC).
For an organized introduction into the joys of vi, see viva_vi!(version 23mar01). There are also on-screen tutorials, as well as the whole world of vi, and, in particular, Bill Joy's very own Introduction to Display Editing with vi. Want a laugh?
Useful information about html. There is, in particular, a complete list of the available special characters.
Useful information about TeX.
For a very unusual and ever_changing home page, try David Griffeath's Primordial Soup Kitchen.
For various interesting information, see odds and ends , and thank Allan Pinkus at pinkus@techunix.technion.ac.il or Paul Nevai if you find any of it useful. Also, check out Paul Nevai's way to make his mathematical output available.
Check here for information about new text books, MATH 443, MATH 887, CS412, CS514, CS717.
