Derivative of sin(x) is cos(x). Many people probably think this works for degrees, but it's actually some abomination like pi cos(pi x/180)/180.
Of course, turns are very reasonable units sometimes for sure.

That's what it would be if you are using sin in degrees and cos in radians. But if you are using degrees for both then the derivative of sin(x) is pi/180 cos(x).
