The Mathematics of Juggling
Dr Burkard Polster
Monash University
Sit back and enjoy a gravity defying juggling performance by the GreatBurke, meet Burkard, a native speaker of SITE SWAP, the mathematical language of juggling patterns, and marvel at the Juggle Master, a fancy computer animation that speaks pure SITE SWAP and juggles like a god.
This is your opportunity to learn about the basics of juggling and SITE SWAP.
Don't miss it!
(This lecture is compulsory for all the jugglers on the fourth floor of
the maths building).
