[edit] Article Title
The pages parallel axis theorem and parallel axes theorem, were redirected to parallel axes rule. However, I think parallel axis theorem is more accepted, so I've made that the true page. First, this is what the name is in my physics book; second, a google search of each of these confirms this: [1] [2] [3] --JianLi 21:18, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Possible Error
I am taking a course in waves and vibrations and have been assured by my physics professor that there is no parallel axis theorem for second moment of area. She says that the parallel axis theorem applies only to moment of inertia. Searching on the internet and in text books I have been unable to find references to a parallel axis theorem for second moment of area. I don't pretend to be an expert on the subject, but could someone who knows more about it look into that? Thanks. 130.15.167.195 21:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)nasturtium86
