https://www.amazon.com/Sync-Order-Emerges-Universe-Nature/dp/0786887214 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.
- ants_everywhere 2y agoThis is the book I'm currently reading. I guess that's not so interesting a comment, but it's an old and pretty niche book so I'm surprised to see it mentioned on HN today. Anyway I agree Strogatz does a good job. He's both telling a good story and he also explains more of the mathematical ideas than a lot of books for popular audiences. He also has a podcast that's worth checking out.
- madcaptenor 2y agoI read it around when it came out and still remember it well - it's a good book! And Strogatz is excellent among popular mathematics writers.
