In certain systems, external torques have an effect on a system's angular momentum. Since these external forces do not sum to zero, we end up with a system with nonzero torque.
The Main Idea
We can relate this to the Angular Momentum principle [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{L}}{dt}}=Torque }[/math]
A Mathematical Model
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
A Computational Model
How do we visualize or predict using this topic. Consider embedding some vpython code here Teach hands-on with GlowScript
Examples
Be sure to show all steps in your solution and include diagrams whenever possible

- How is it connected to your major?
- Is there an interesting industrial application?
History
Put this idea in historical context. Give the reader the Who, What, When, Where, and Why.
