Since there are some on here into geophysical, acoustical,
and/or electromagnetic scattering and knowledgeable in
Fourier theory, distribution theory and other advanced
mathematics (and my thesis will involve some DSP at
some stage), if you have time could you look at my
Ph.D. thesis proposal, especially the abstract which
I need to craft a little better, and comment on its
viability. Even just a proof of the abstract would
be worth a beer.

It is on my personal home page http://www.nfld.com/~dalton
(where there is also stuff on Newfoundland music and more)
or you can go directly to the HTML (done with latex2html) version at
http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/proposal/proposal.html
or to the PDF version (done with latex, dvips, and ps2pdf) at
http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/proposal/proposal.pdf .

DSP is heavily used in geophysics so I will hang around
comp.dsp some from now on I guess. Also I have a hobby
interest in improving DSP techniques used for live and
recorded music and will discuss that on here after the
end of April, but of course must devote more time to
my thesis.

Followups set to comp.dsp . If you want to
not post a followup, and just e-mail me instead, e-mail
me at my campus address n06drd[AT]mun.ca
where that is a zero and not an Oh.

At my proposal defense this morning I talked for 15
minutes and they asked not too tough questions. Then
the examining committee talked for over an hour after I
left and then my supervisor came and told me I had
passed, but they expected more work out of me (I
performed well from Sept02 to April03 but from
May03 to March04 not as well, and reasonably well
the last month).
