From the right perspective, everything is mathematical — even juggling. In this talk, I'll describe how juggling relates to traditional mathematical fields such as graph theory and look at what happens when a person starts juggling randomly. In doing so, I'll illustrate how these mathematical underpinnings can be useful to even accomplished jugglers. There will be numerous live demonstrations w...

Juggling Networks

Switching networks of various kinds have come to occupy a prominent position in computer science as well as communication engineering. The classical switching network technology has been space-division-multiplex switching, in which each switching function is performed by a spatially separate switching component (such as a crossbar switch). A recent trend in switching network technology has been...
