Dynamics formula

If you're going into engineering as a major, you'll come accross this. This is a dynamics formula that relates acceleration of one point, to the acceleration of another point, to the angular acceleration of the object, and angular velocity of the object and a velocity relavie to another point. the parentasies are added because that means that the vector is such relative to such. All the following are vectors.

Since i don't have all the proper symbols,
I'll use % for angular velocity
$ for angular acceleration

a(B)=a(a) + $Xr(B/A) + %X[%Xr(B/A)] + 2%X(v(B/A)+a(B/A)

X stands for cross product
r is a vector and (B/A) means that the vector at point B is relative to A.

This is math.. Isn't it?
