Simplified Gyroscopic Treatment

Abstract

Gyroscopic motion explanation in texts is relatively long and requires reasonable level of comfort with the mathematical tools used. On the other hand, popular explanation outside academic courses does not explain the phenomenon and only describes it leaving many to think that it is so weird that it defies physics. In this paper we offer a simplified and mathematically sound explanation that can be used in either setting.
