Description

Have you ever wondered why we have radians as a unit of measure for angles? Aren't degrees good enough? I like them. After all, a right angle is a nice, round 90degrees – so why complicate things? While degrees are useful, radians bring a unique significance. Units matter, even in the world of mathematics!
