Mathematics and Juggling
In this workshop we will
explore the relationship between mathematics and juggling.
Juggling is a good source of concrete examples for concepts
such as directed graphs and the cycle structure of a
permutation. In turn, mathematics can be used to illuminate
juggling in many ways. For example, modular arithmetic
offers a simple criterion to determine whether a juggling
pattern is valid. There will be juggling demonstrations in
addition to the opportunity for the participants to learn
(and try) elementary juggling skills.
