degrees

Converts degrees to radians.

Syntax

• degrees(x)

  • x is a real or complex number

Description

This function performs the mapping x ↦ x⋅π/180, thus converting its argument from degrees to radians.

Notes

This is the function behind the postfix operator °. Typically you use the operator instead of calling the degrees function directly.

Examples

sin(90°)

120° + 60°

∫(sin(x), x, 0°, 180°)
