have you ever seen someone juggle and wonder how he or she does it? or, are you able to juggle but have wondered how the process might be described mathematically? in this talk, i will introduce the concept of a juggling sequence and explain how juggling sequences can be used to describe simple juggling patterns and will address some of the mathematical questions related to juggling sequences. i will also illustrate some juggling patterns by juggling them (when i\'m not picking up the balls off the floor) and by using a juggling animator program to juggle patterns that are too difficult for me. refreshments will be served!
