Bessel's functions are often used in acoustics for describing circular membranes behaviour (exploited by most of the musical instruments). They are the solutions of the wave equations using polar coordinates. Set the properties of the membrane Bessel's functions describe the vibrational modes of the membrane.
1. Parentheses are used in mathematical expressions to denote modifications to normal order of operations (precedence rules). In an expression like, the part of the expression within the parentheses, , is evaluated first, and then this result is used in the rest of the expression.
