@jenniferjuice Here's what I gathered: Radians are good when working with arc length and any time you have integrations involving trig functions. Also, radians are useful when working with the exponential format of complex numbers. Degrees are important when communicating with other people, because it's easier for most people to understand the concept and mentally visualize how big an angle is specified in degrees.
