Hours. Nobody uses radians in daily life and nobody uses degrees in daily life outside of 180 and 360. But everyone knows what "On your six" or "Hottie at 2 o'clock" means.

degrees is more useful to me for doing some pen and paper mathematics

>> No.16134001

I prefer to set pi=1

Why are they labeled backwards?

Radians, for sure. Relates lengths of arc and angle
in a convenient number. Degrees are granular down
to the second, but the length of the arc is less
obvious without extra steps in math to find it
(1 degree of angle makes 1 degree of arc!? wtf)

Outside of this, I've been trying out a new form of
"algebraic angles" where it's defined by the breadth
and length of a central angle. Still finding the rules
to this, but it's okay.

I prefer radians since they are the natural unit. However, for the sakes of proper communication with everyone in an easy way, I used degrees.

>> No.16134850

Tau is objectively superior.

Contracts. Who wants these builder drones. We're talking 1 trillion maybe more. For AAA quality double that. For SSS grade even more.

I lost all my calculus notes so I will need a refresher. I think they both mean the same thing

Radians for analysis, degrees for anything geometric.

>> No.16135509

degrees is better because of whole numbers
