Follow parallel with introduction of momentum in translational description:
As before we’ll only consider motion in a plane and thus all rotational quantities are vectors along same direction which is the axis perpendicular to that plane => we don’t worry about vectors!

Proof of L=I for a rigid body (I =constant) by using = I
Conservation of L when no external torque
We assume internal Action/Reaction forces to act on the same line (not just direction)
