Juggling is a physical skill, performed by a juggler, involving the manipulation of objects for

recreation, entertainment, or sport.

The earliest juggling mathematician is Abu Sahl al-Kuhi who lived around the 10th century.

It was around 1985 that at least three groups of people independently from
each other started developing and popularizing a mathematical language for
noting juggling patterns: Bengt Magnusson and Bruce Boppo Tiemann in
Los Angeles; Paul Klimak in Santa Cruz; and Adam Chalcraft, Mike Day,
and Colin Wright in Cambridge.1
