title: A fast and accurate method for calculating Engelberg's synchronization index.
abstract: A method is described which makes a fast and accurate calculation of Engelberg's synchronization index possible. The calculation is only based on the growth curve for the synchronous and the corresponding asynchronous population, and makes it unnecessary to calculate the curve for the normalized rate of cell division.
