Radians are now the ‘SI’ unit of angular measurement.

In the future, we will all be using Radians along with the Metric System of measurements.

The term ‘degree’ will be relegated to temperature measurements only............

Ah, so it’s just pointless posturing and your suggestion has no real relevance to the problem. Thanks for clearing that up.

Radians and degrees?
When doing trigonometry on the unit circle, radian measure is way easier for me to use in the calculations. If doing angles as fractions, using degree measure is easier because that number, 360, has the most even fractional divisions.
