Approximation, Chui, Schumaker & Utreras (eds), Academic Press, New York,
1987.
Papers will be refereed, and depending on the number of contributors, we
may not be able to accept all submitted manuscripts. The book will be
prepared in camera-ready form using TEX, so if at all possible we would
like to receive TEX files. Typing instructions will be sent after receipt
of your abstract.

and starting Thur. morning at 8:00 A. M. in Vilhelm Bjerknes Hall.
The registration fee will be 300 Kroner.
Transportation to Oslo:
Air--Northwest and SAS have direct flights from the U. S. to Gardermoen
airport about 50 km north of Oslo. There is an airport bus to

Boat--There are ferries to Oslo from Copenhagen, Kiel (Germany),
Fredrikshavn (Denmark), and Harwich (England). You can bring
you car on these ferries. There are also ferries to Kristiansand

and Bergen (470 km west of Oslo) if you come by car.
Car--You can take a ferry, or drive directly from Copenhagen in about 12
hours.
Housing:
