This is a video of a math class lecture at Cornell University by guest speaker (juggler / PhD for MIT) Allen Knutson. It describes in detail the math concepts behind siteswap notation, juggling patterns, etc. be prepared to enter the deep end of the pool.

If you want to learn more you should check out Ben Beaver's paper on the subject.
I think it's available online. Maybe the old JIS or JugglingDB websites.

<<As a juggler the author likes to finish his performances with a stunt that combines props and techniques from a variety of juggling disciplines. Imagine him idling on a giraffe unicycle, while balancing a spinning basketball on a mouth stick, and toss-juggling a sword, a toilet plunger, and a rubber chicken. As a mathematician he is also interested in the treasure trove of beautiful mathematics used to model the different activities in a juggler's repertoire. In this book he provides an intellectually stimulating collection of mostly self-contained mathematical essays that introduce the reader to many elegant results and techniques from a wide range of mathematical disciplines such as combinatorics, graph theory, knot theory, mechanics, differential equations, control theory, and robotics. "The Mathematics of Juggling" is the first comprehensive account summarizing and expanding the results in the literature on juggling tricks and skills, as well as the mathematics behind these tricks and skills. Anybody who is not put off by the word "mathematics" in the title of this book should have a good time reading it.>>
