1:35:51The Story of Sync
Steven Strogatz traces the historical and mathematical development of synchronization theory, from Huygens' pendulum observations to modern applications in coupled oscillators and network dynamics, culminating in the Kuramoto model and recent advancements in understanding collective behavior.
Steven Strogatz, Cornell University Stanislaw Ulam Memorial Lecture Series Lecture2 Every night along the tidal rivers of Malaysia, thousands of male fireflies congregate in the mangrove trees and flash on and off in unison. Similarly astonishing feats of synchronization occur throughout the natural and technological world. In this story of sync, Strogatz describes how our understanding of synchronization has evolved over the centuries and shares exciting new results and unsolved problems about how the structure of a network affects its tendency to get in sync.
