How do you intend to do a Bessel/Hankel transform in Pd? What would you use it for? Simulating drums?
This is one of the things that I am asking about on the list. I read in Dodge & Jerse that Bessel functions can describe attributes of frequency modulation, so that may be something I can study further for my project. Although, my advisor did show me a text regarding harmonic analysis of drum tones. I don't know if I will be able to do a Bessel/Hankel transform with Pd, since I'm not familiar with what that is yet!
I just hope that you don't end up doing a math PhD...
Nice comic! I think that a math PhD would require more dedication to the subject than I am willing to provide, but the skills I've learned so far are very helpful with my other (computer art/sound) endeavors. I see that you (Matju) have quite a bit of mathematics experience. Perhaps you could reccommend some areas of mathematics that I could explore using Pd. (Please, keep it as pedantic as possible, I'm not a genius!)
I appreciate the other (off-list) emails I recieved, they are very helpful.
