Book Description:

Synchronization phenomena are abundant in science, nature, engineering and social life. Systems as diverse as clocks, singing crickets, cardiac pacemakers and applauding audiences exhibit a tendency to operate in synchrony. This universal phenomenon can be understood within a common framework based on modern nonlinear dynamics. The book describes synchronization first without formulae, using experimental examples, and then in a rigorous and systematic manner, describing both classical...
More DescriptionSynchronization phenomena are abundant in science, nature, engineering and social life. Systems as diverse as clocks, singing crickets, cardiac pacemakers and applauding audiences exhibit a tendency to operate in synchrony. This universal phenomenon can be understood within a common framework based on modern nonlinear dynamics. The book describes synchronization first without formulae, using experimental examples, and then in a rigorous and systematic manner, describing both classical results and recent developments. This comprehensive text will be of interest to graduate students and specialist researchers.
