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!

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.
