Scientific Overview:
The 2007 edition of the AMS Von Neumann Symposium concerns Sparse
Representation and High-Dimensional Geometry, which is currently undergoing
rapid advances in both theory and application. The Von Neumann Symposium
will bring together an exceptional assembly of researchers investigating
this topic from different perspectives. Invited speakers are leading experts
in algorithm design and analysis, information and coding theory, and
geometric and functional analysis. To breakdown barriers between these often
distinct groups, the invited speakers will give talks accessible to the
broad audience.

This associated short course will be held five weeks prior to the 2007 Von
Neumann Symposium. The principle aim is to provide a firm foundation in
sparse approximation to members of the scientific community new to the topic
- before the Von Neumann Symposium. Each speaker will give three informal 50
minute tutorials on his or her area of expertise, conveying his or her
unique perspective. Speakers will be in residence for the entire three day
meeting and will be available to participants for in depth discussions.
