I needed to refresh my classical physics knowledge and I was going through Prof. Walter Lewin's physics videos at ocw.mit.edu and at some point he proposed the following theorem without proof:
"The angular momentum due to rotation about the center of mass is universal and does not depend on the relative choice of coordinate axis, unlike, say orbital angular momentum"
It might be really trivial, but I need to see a mathematical proof of this statement, can anyone help?
