The membrane is fixed on its perimeter. Using separation of variables, determine the
frequency of the second natural mode of vibration. Assume c = 1/⇡.
Note a and b are given constants, and n is the outward unit normal to the enclosed
volume.

To quantify the unknown parameter with the data, we require that the unknown parameter
making the following objective function maximum, i.e. there exists a parameter ˆ such that it
makes log L( ˆ ) = max 2IR (log L( )), where
