Homework Statement



Has anyone here read The Mathematics of Juggling by Burkard Polster? I am having a hard time understanding how the inverse of a juggling sequence is calculated on page 27.

For example, the table on the page has 7 rows, and in the fourth row, I'm not sure if that symbol means the inverse of the permutation of the sequence? Or how it is calculated.
