Paper: |
Juggling Drops and Descents |
Talk: |
Juggling Permutations of the Integers |
Abstract: |
We will discuss permutations f of the integers Z
satisfying $f(x) \ge x$, and will give applications to
juggling patterns. Demonstrations will be included.

Interests: |
Many years ago, Ron Graham taught Tom Brown (at Simon
Fraser University) to juggle. Tom then taught me to juggle, and
I've been juggling seriously ever since. Other non-mathematical
interests include playing golf, various outdoor sports, and even
playing the piano on occasion. My mathematical interests include
computational algebraic number theory, algebra, and cryptography.

Comments: |
It continues to amaze me that the ``site swap'' idea is
fertile enough to provide inspiration both in mathematics and in juggling.
