The '''angular momentum''' of a point mass about a point is defined as <math>\vec H = \vec r \times \vec p</math> where '''r''' is the position [[vector quantity|vector]] of the point mass with respect to the point of reference and '''p''' is the [[momentum|linear momentum]] vector of the point mass.

'''Conservation of angular momentum''', fundamental concept of physics along with the conservations of mass and energy, and defined as mass multiplied by velocity of an object.  It further states that the amount of momentum remains constant unless changed through an action of external forces as described by [[Isaac Newton|Newton's]] [laws of motion].

The principle of angular momentum can be applied to a system of particles by summing the angular momentum of each particle about the same point.
