Degrees and radians
Two ways to measure an angle, and converting between them.
A full turn is 360° or 2π radians, so 180° = π. Radians measure an angle by the arc it cuts on a unit circle, which is why calculus prefers them: with radians, the derivative of sin is exactly cos.
Beispiel: 30 degrees to radians
Schritt für Schritt
- 30^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180^\circ} = \frac{\pi}{6} \approx 0.52360
Multiply by π/180 (a full turn is 360° = 2π).
