Thanks, Ill have to check out Perry Cook's Real Sound Synthesis. It may be what I'm looking for.
I do have Andy Farnell's book. I haven't finished it though, other work took priority. From what I recall it wasn't too mathematically oriented, and I dont think it covers the topics in as mathematical details as I would like (and need) for this project.

Sounds like a cool idea
All DSP uses maths in some way or another. Check out Perry Cook's book Real Sound Synthesis for a more mathematical/technical intro to DSP principles.
On the other end of the spectrum, Andy Fanrnell's book Designing Sound looks at DSP/sound design specifically in the context of PD, not only providing a great intro to the language itself, but also to aesthetic choice in sound design
Hope that helps, and good luck!
Cheers, Nick

Hi list,
I'm in a summer calculus two course, and we are required to do a
research project of our choosing as long as it includes the topics we have learned so far. I want to explore the relationship between this science and sound more closely, and decided to use Puredata as a medium.
What are some areas in sound design/composition that involve calculus?
Or topics that approach sound from a calculus standpoint?
Thanks,

If it's sound you're interested in then it is tempting to suggest either Stefan Bilbao, because he gives lots of problems and exercises, or to look at Dave Benson who tackles unusual and interesting topics.
However, if you really want to flex your school calculus muscles and use Pd as a platform to show that off, it may be better to pick a control engineering problem, say adaptive proportional servos, and solve it in the message domain. Get lots of neat graphs easily using [textfile] to push and dump data.
The problem with more complicated audio DSP problems from the standard problem set (filters, physmo etc) is that the fine discretisation required isn't something Pure Data makes easy (as it's already optimised a certain patching style so that feedback and audio block size may give a few headaches), and if you're working with continuous calculus problems you might get a few surprises going to the discrete/digital realm at audio rate the first time.
cheers, Andy
