为什么值得读
- 普及藏在睡眠周期与体温震荡中的自发同步机制
- 通俗讲解Kuramoto振荡器等核心数学发现史
- 难度不高，生动呈现自然界秩序涌现的数学真理
同步（synchronize）的倾向也许是自然界中最神秘且无处不在的驱动力。它吸引了20世纪一些最杰出的人物，包括 Albert Einstein、Richard Feynman、Norbert Wiener、Brian Josephson 和 Arthur Winfree。Sync 既优美又引人入胜，讲述了一门新科学破晓的故事。作为 chaos and complexity theory 领域的顶尖数学家，Steven Strogatz 解释了庞大系统如何实现自我同步——从 superconductor 中的电子到我们心脏里的 pacemaker cells。他表明，尽管这些现

事先声明我没读过《Why We Sleep》。尽管如此，我依然推荐 Steven Strogatz 写的《Sync》（2003年）——尤其是关于睡眠的第3章——它巧妙地描述了我们何时入睡/何时醒来与大约以24小时为周期波动的人体体温之间是如何耦合的……
A disclaimer is that I haven't read "Why We Sleep". Nonetheless I recommend the book "Sync" by Steven Strogatz (2003) -- particularly chapter 3 on sleep -- which describes a neat coupling of when we sleep / when we wake up to our body temperature which oscillates with a period of roughly 24…
https://www.amazon.com/Sync-Order-Emerges-Universe-Nature/dp... 这本读起来也很棒。也许技术性不如上面那本强，但包含了一些关于发现这些有趣数学真理的精彩历史。
https://www.amazon.com/Sync-Order-Emerges-Universe-Nature/dp... is also a good read on it. Perhaps not as technical as the above but has some interesting history on the discovery of these interesting mathematical truths.
非常酷的工作——看到这种截然不同的方法真让人耳目一新。很多年前我从 Steven Strogatz 的《Sync》一书中了解到了 Kuramoto 振子（Kuramoto oscillators），我极力推荐这本书。
Very cool work - refreshing to see a of different approach. I learned about Kuramoto oscillators many years ago from a book called Sync, by Steven Strogatz, which I highly recommend.

……心肌细胞在没有中央监控的情况下协同跳动。像鸟群、鱼群这样的群体似乎也没有等级秩序。Steven Strogatz 有一本关于自发同步的书叫《Sync》。他还做过一次 TED 演讲：https://www.ted.com/talks/steven_strogatz_on_sync/transcript...
…the cells in the heart muscles beat together without a central monitor. Swarms like flocks of birds, schools of fish etc. do not seem to have a hierarchical order. Steven Strogatz has a book called "Sync" related to spontaneous synchronisation. He also has given a Ted talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/steven_strogatz_on_sync/transcript...
