Synchronization is a universal phenomenon that is encountered in
nature, science and engineering. The book presents a broad view of
modern theoretical and experimental approaches to synchronization,
especially in complex and chaotic systems, and its applications in
life sciences and engineering. Contributors include applied
mathematicians, physicists, biologists, and specialists in
communications and control theory. The study of synchronization is
presented in its many aspects: basic mathematical theory, numerical
simulation of complex systems, applications of methods in
theoretical physics, experimental implementation, and applications
in engineering and life sciences.

Systems as diverse as clocks, singing crickets, cardiac pacemakers, firing neurons and applauding audiences exhibit a tendency to operate in synchrony. These phenomena are universal and can be understood within a common framework based on modern nonlinear dynamics. The first half of this book describes synchronization without formulae, and is based on qualitative intuitive ideas. The main effects are illustrated with experimental examples and figures, and the historical development is also outlined. The second half of the book presents the main effects of synchronization in a rigorous and systematic manner, describing both classical results on synchronization of periodic oscillators, and recent developments in chaotic systems, large ensembles, and oscillatory media.
