Overview

This conference will be held during September 28-30, 2015 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Lee Lorch on September 20, 2015. Lee Lorch passed away on February 28, 2014 at the age of 98. He is best remembered for his mathematical contributions in classical analysis in general and special functions in particular, and his unique work in support of civil rights and the treatment of minorities and women in mathematics. The invited speakers are chosen to speak on current developments in analysis with applications and computations. Represented at this conference are Special Functions, Orthogonal Polynomials, Fourier Analysis, Analytic Number Theory, Integral Transforms, Asymptotics, Differential Equations with Applications and Computations in Mathematical Biology, Medical Imaging, Fluid Dynamics, Electromagnetics, Probability, Stochastic Processes and Statistics. The interdisciplinary feature of the conference is of interest to a broad spectrum of mathematical scientists and contributes to the training of post-docs and graduate students. In addition to the one-hour talks by the following invited speakers, 30-minute talks are being planned.
