I was just wondering if anyone knows the best way to compute the
moment of inertia of a cube about a given axis.

Thank you.

Maybe this link is helpful.http://www.geometrictools.com/

I have several of his books and I guess that "Game Physics" will prove
helpful.

In particular:
Rigid Body
Rigid body class.
Wm4RigidBody.h
Wm4RigidBody.cpp
Rough Plane Analysis
GP, Chapter 3: Rigid Body Motion

Fast computation of mass and inertia tensor for rigid polyhedra of
constant density.
Wm4PolyhedralMassProperties.h
Wm4PolyhedralMassProperties.cpp
Polyhedral Mass Properties (Revisited)
GP, Section 2.5.5: Mass and Inertia Tensor of a Solid Polyhedron

I have "Game Physics" checked out from the library, but it didn't come
with the CD. BTW, how do you feel about the book?
