If you notice, more than 360 degrees would start another cycle.

parthkohli · Answer

361 degrees would be 1 degree..
362 = 2
363 = 3
and so on

ok thanks! :)

parthkohli · Answer

And wait... that's where modular arithmetic comes in

moongazer · Answer

I asked this because I am seeing angles more than 360 degrees sometimes :)

parthkohli · Answer

If you want to find an angle measure more than 360, it'd be$\mod{(x,360)}$

moongazer · Answer

What about modular arithmetic ?

parthkohli · Answer

Yeah, 720 degrees is again 360 degrees or 0 degrees :)

parthkohli · Answer

For example, 480 degrees is actually $\mod({480,360}) = 120^{\circ}$

moongazer · Answer

ohh I don't know that thing

parthkohli · Answer

Hey did you use photoshop to make that thing blue?

moongazer · Answer

I don't use Photoshop :)

moongazer · Answer

But I think it is fun knowing things like that

moongazer · Answer

:)

parthkohli · Answer

How did you make that? :O

moongazer · Answer

the modular arithmetic

parthkohli · Answer

I mean the background is supposed to be grey

moongazer · Answer

what that?

parthkohli · Answer

Your display pic... how is the background blue? Photoshop?

moongazer · Answer

ohh my pic. I copied it here. Is it not allowed?

parthkohli · Answer

No, it is but how did you make the background blue?

moongazer · Answer

i'll remove it if it is not allowed :)

parthkohli · Answer

No no.. it is completely allowed

parthkohli · Answer

Just wanted to know how you made the background blue :)

moongazer · Answer

I copied it from here (openstudy.com) when openstudy was not yet like this.

I copied it from the openstudy feedback section.

I think that time is when openstudy is just starting and the homepage is showing already the sections.

The homepage has different kinds of pictures from the different sections then I saw this picture from the openstudy feedback sections and I copied it.

I think Physics section has a atomic model pic and chemistry has a graduated cylinder.
