A Historical Discussion of Angular Momentum and its Euler Equation

History and Philosophy of Physics 2015-11-25 v1

Abstract

We propose a discussion of angular momentum and its Euler equation, with the aim of giving a short outline of their history. This outline can be useful for teaching purposes too, to amend some problems that students can have in learning this important physical quantity.
