Do we really need these functions in numpy? I mean it's just multiplying/dividing the value by pi/180 (who knows why they're in the math module..). Numpy doesn't have asin, acos, or atan either (they're arcsin, arcos and arctan) so it isn't a superset of the math module.
I would like there to be fewer functions in numpy, not more. > > Someone on the wxPython list just pointed out that the math module now > > includes includes angle-conversion utilities: > > > >>>> degrees.__doc__ > > degrees(x) -> converts angle x from radians to degrees > >>>> radians.__doc__ > > radians(x) -> converts angle x from degrees to radians > > > > Not a big deal, but handy.
