Clarification
editWhat the heck is a "radial membrane resultant"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uscitizenjason (talk • contribs) 14:13, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
Title
editThe title is misleading. What it refers to is a circular drum head. With rare exceptions, a drum head is attached to something else that constitutes the body of the drum; acoustics of the combination probably influence the modes of the drum head. As well, real-life stiffness of the head affects its behavior, probably slightly.
I was tempted to do a search-and-replace! Regards, Nikevich (talk) 07:15, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
I did go for "membrane", as it is not really about drum, but more about vibrating membrane, in a more theorical fashion than studying drum accoustic. 81.64.54.26 (talk) 18:28, 30 March 2011 (UTC) The math is solid. Basic Louisville-Sturm Theory problem with simple bounding, and membrane conditions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.77.110 (talk) 10:35, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Vibrations of a circular drum → Vibrations of a circular membrane – The article is not about the drum, but just about the drum head, considered independently of the rest of the drum. Andrewa (talk) 08:02, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Survey
edit- Support as nominator. Andrewa (talk) 12:22, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Hydrogen atom orbital
editI love that the "analogous wave functions of the hydrogen atom" is alluded to, but it seems like an afterthought. Can we have a line about the orbital analogy, rather than just a "see also"? This article almost connects the two concepts, but doesn't quite do so. ThreeRocks (talk) 20:25, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
