torsion
I am quite sure that torsion is T = ((r` x r``) * r```) / ( (r` x r`` )^2 ) So the denominator is square. I don't know mathml so somebody please fix it. (or tell me that I am wrong, but I am not.

You are quite right, thank you. It's very embarrassing that mistakes like that survive for months in Wikipedia. I guess it's also a strong argument against math tex mode, templates and similar gimmicks: they significantly increase the hurdle to contribute and fix stuff on the spot.

Disambig
Should we move this page to say, Torsion (Mathematics), and make the Torsion page a diambig? (see the other meanings unrelated to maths at the bottom of the page). Enochlau 03:22, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I separated them into sections. I think they should be on the same page, as they (at least the math and mechanics aspects) are similar in concept. --Apoc2400 00:01, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Torsion in horses
Torsion in horses normally means torsion of the bowel, and is an extremely serious and often fatal condition, see for example. Andrewa (talk) 06:25, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
