Summary

The natural frequency of the fundamental mode of star-shaped membranes whose boundary is given by an equation in polar form is determined. The boundary conditions are satisfied identically by conformally transforming the complicated shape onto a unit circle. The transformed partial differential equation is solved by two different collocation techniques.
