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. i will discuss some of the mathematical questions related to juggling sequences. finally, i will illustrate some simple juggling patterns by juggling them (when i'm not picking up the balls off the floor, that is) and exhibit a pattern that was unknown prior to the discovery of juggling sequences. refreshments will be provided.
