Saying "rad" are bad units for sin is like saying e is a bad base for logarithms.
The only "bad" thing about rads is that they're not taught early enough so that culturally 45 degrees are not know as pi/4. Then a turn would be known as simply as 2pi (or "a one eighty" as Americans infuriatingly like to call it when someone rotates 360 about themselves)
- estomagordo 4y agoHmm. I don't think I have ever witnessed someone describe a full rotation as a one eighty.
- falcor84 4y agoI'm actually more familiar with the reverse mistake, when people say someone "did a full 360" to mean they have changed their mind/approach. I suppose the confusion there is with the association of "full 360" with "comprehensive" (as in looking all around, without any blind spots), which is valid.
