Prof. Dr. Willi Freeden is working at the Technische Universität Kaiserslautern. His Subjects of Research are:special functions of mathematical (geo)physics (in particular orthogonal polynomials, (scalar, vectorial, tensorial) spherical harmonics, Bessel and Hankel functions, etc.)partial differential equations (potential theory, elasticity, electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, refraction, geothermal flow)constructive approximation (in particular radial basis functions, finite elements, splines, wavelets etc.), integral transformsnumerical methods (scientific computing, particularly of georelevant problems in potential theory, elasticity and electromagnetic theory)inverse problems in geophysics, geodesy and satellite technology (e.g., geomagnetics, gravimetry, satellite to satellite tracking, satellite gradiometry, seismics, etc.)mathematics in industry: transfer of mathematical know how into (geo)practice, in particular in geothermal research.M. Zuhair Nashed is professor of Mathematics at the University of Central Florida. His research interests include:  Integral and Operator Equations, Inverse and Ill-posed Problems, Numerical and Nonlinear Functional Analysis, Optimization and Approximation Theory, Operator Theory, Optimal Control Theory, Signal Analysis and Signal Processing.Thomas Sonar is professor of Mathematics and head of the Institute of Computational Mathematics at Technische Universität Braunschweig.
