Introduction

Angular momentum (AM) theory in its quantum mechanical application is the mathematics of implementing into physical theory, the basic tenet that the properties of isolated physical systems are invariant to rotations of the system in space (or equivalently, to the orientation of a Cartesian coordinate system used to describe the system).
