Radians Preferred by Mathematicians
Because the radian is based on the pure idea of "the radius being laid along the circumference", it often gives simple and natural results when used in mathematics.For example, look at the sine function for very small values:
x (radians) | 1 | 0.1 | 0.01 | 0.001 |
---|---|---|---|---|
sin(x) | 0.8414710 | 0.0998334 | 0.0099998 | 0.0009999998 |
For very small values. "x" and "sin(x)" are almost the same
(as long as "x" is in Radians!)
