2025 FALL FPAS SPEAKER SEMINAR

Dr. Franklin Mendivil - Juggling Patterns

📢 FPAS Speaker Series
 

Guest Speaker: Dr. Franklin Mendivil

Topic: Juggling Patterns

📅 Date: Thursday, October 2, 2025
🕓 Time: 4:00 PM
📍 Location: HSH 206

There are certainly many different ways to juggle, even if we only consider throwing (and hopefully catching) three balls.  For instance, we can throw (and catch) from behind the back or under a leg.  Amazingly, however, even if we restrict our attention to focus only on the order in which the balls are thrown and caught, there are still infinitely many different juggling patterns.

In this talk, we will discuss some ways of thinking about juggling patterns and explore the "siteswap" system of describing these patterns. The talk will be mathematical in the broad sense (the exploration of patterns) but not very mathematical in the traditional sense, so don't be scared away!

Everyone welcome!  Refreshments provided.
