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. As I generally like to think if numpy as a superset of the math module, perhaps is should include these too.
Done.
