This volume discusses the state of the art in physical modelling of musical instruments for real-time sound synthesis. It includes the derivation of mathematical models in the form of partial differential equations for the vibrational description of strings, membranes/plates, and resonant bodies. Their solution and simulation is first described by classical methods, including finite difference method, digital waveguide method and modal synthesis method. The focus of this book is on the new functional transformation method, providing an analytical solution to the underlying mathematical model. With its large number of examples, illustrations and comparisons to other modelling techniques, this book is a reference for graduate courses on sound synthesis techniques, as well as a reference for researchers in acoustics, mechanics, operational mathematics, and electrical engineering.

From the reviews: "This is a book devoted to digital sound synthesis (DSS). The exposition makes full use of modern mathematical tools. ... The book represents an interesting contribution to music synthesis and the reviewer thinks it will soon become a reference volume in the electric and mechanical domains." (D. Stanomir, Mathematical Reviews, 2005 b) "This book ... gives not only a thorough introduction to the Functional Transformation Method itself, but provides an excellent overview of existing alternatives. ... The book is exemplary in clarity as well as for references and lists of symbols, variables, abbreviations, etc. More than fifty figures are included. ... an innovative and far-reaching text that should find its way to all institutes where sound synthesis is taught or researched." (K. Guettler, Acta Acustica united with Acustica, Vol. 91 (4), 2005)
