Juggling Patterns

[Scott Colby <scolby33 gmail com>]

Hello all,

I came across the notation that jugglers use to describe their
patterns and found some similarities to our diagrams for methods. They
have a similar cyclic pattern to describe, but it took until the
mid-1980's for someone to try writing them down!

Here is a link to a textual description of the method:

And here is an hour-long talk given by one of the creators, which I
think was worth my time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNKFSpJIBO0

I hope some of you find these parallels interesting! Is there any
crossover between the ringers and the MIT Jugglers?
