World Juggling Day 2001
dedicated to
Claude Shannon

 

The IJA dedicated World Juggling Day 2001 to the memory of Claude Shannon (1916-2001), an incredible scientist and a pioneer in the physics of juggling.

In addition to breaking ground in many very important non-juggling scientific areas, Shannon turned his intellect to the topics of juggling equations relating time and quantity, and to mechanical juggling creations. His renown brought popular attention to the fun and science of juggling.
