Degrees and grads 2006-04-06
From Nazanin:
which angle if you add 15 to its degree we can find its measure by grad?
Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
The origin of angles 1998-02-24
From Marc Poulin:
I'm currently teaching angles to students in grade 10 and I've been asked what's the origin of the terms degrees, radians and gradians.

I know that the radians come from the sexagesimal numerical system of the Babylonians but my kids wanted to know dates and persons who would have brought these terms first.
