A few months ago I came across what has turned out to be a very useful primer for new mathematical ways to approach numerology. It doesn't discuss gematria directly, but you might find it useful. To find out more, go here: http://www.jufo.freeserve.co.uk/page8.html I hope that's useful to you Dan, Marcus.
