What is the Inertia Tensor (And How It Works)

A rigorous mathematical breakdown of the inertia tensor and 3D rotational dynamics. This video details how the 3x3 symmetric matrix relates the angular velocity vector to the angular momentum vector using the equation. We calculate diagonal moments of inertia and off-diagonal products of inertia, explaining mathematically why asymmetric mass distribution creates internal wobbling torques and unstable rotation.
