Free* 30min lecture: 5 balls, 2 hands: the Patterns of Juggling , Colin Wright (Solipsys Limited)
Juggling has fascinated people for centuries. Seemingly oblivious to gravity, the skilled juggler will keep several objects in the air at one time, and weave complex patterns that seem to defy analysis. However, by using just simple mathematics these patterns can be classified, giving a simple way to describe those patterns that are known already, and a way to discover new ones. |
