2 years ago Would it make sense to add something like this near eq(117)? _Eq(104) showed that the tensor of inertia is symmetric. A mathematical theorem states that symmetric matrices can always be diagonalized, with eigenvectors being perpendicular.
Yes, I can add that.
If I remember correctly, the law expressed in eq(116) was called Steiner's law. Though my memory might not be correct.

"The parallel axis theorem, also known as Huygens–Steiner theorem, or just as Steiner's theorem"
In a Dutch University, I suppose I should call it Huygens theorem :)
