❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about radian and degree conversion

What are radians and degrees?

Degrees divide a circle into 360 equal parts, while radians are based on the radius of the circle. One radian is the angle when the arc length equals the radius. A full circle is 360° or 2π radians.

How do I convert between radians and degrees?

Use these formulas: Degrees to radians: multiply by π/180. Radians to degrees: multiply by 180/π. For example: 90° × π/180 = π/2 radians, and π/2 × 180/π = 90°.

What is π notation and why use it?

π notation expresses angles as multiples of π (pi ≈ 3.14159). It's more precise for common angles: π/6 (30°), π/4 (45°), π/3 (60°), π/2 (90°), π (180°), 2π (360°). This notation is exact and commonly used in mathematics.

Can I input π expressions directly?

Yes! You can input expressions like π/2, 3π/4, 2π, or even π/6. The calculator recognizes both π and "pi" symbols and evaluates mathematical expressions automatically.

Why are radians used in calculus and programming?

Radians are the "natural" unit for angles because they simplify many mathematical formulas. In calculus, derivatives of trigonometric functions are simpler with radians. Most programming languages use radians in their math functions by default.
