The radian, denoted by the symbol rad, is the unit of bending in the International System of Units (SI), and is the standard unit of athwart measure out used in many areas of mathematics. The unit was formerly an SI supplementary unit (before that category was abolished in 1995).^[i] The radian is divers in the SI as existence a dimensionless unit with i rad = 1.^[2] Its symbol is accordingly ofttimes omitted, particularly in mathematical writing.

Definition

One radian is defined as the bending subtended from the center of a circle which intercepts an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle.^[3] More more often than not, the magnitude in radians of a subtended angle is equal to the ratio of the arc length to the radius of the circle; that is, θ = s/r , where θ is the subtended angle in radians, due south is arc length, and r is radius. A right bending is exactly π / ii radians.^[4]

The magnitude in radians of ane consummate revolution (360 degrees) is the length of the entire circumference divided past the radius, or 2π r / r , or 2π. Thus 2π radians is equal to 360 degrees, meaning that ane radian is equal to 180/π degrees ≈ 57.2957795130 82320 876... degrees.^[v]

The relation 2π rad = 360° can be derived using the formula for arc length, ${\textstyle \ell _{\text{arc}}=2\pi r\left({\tfrac {\theta }{360^{\circ }}}\right)}$ . Since radian is the measure out of an angle that subtends an arc of a length equal to the radius of the circumvolve, ${\textstyle 1=2\pi \left({\tfrac {ane{\text{ rad}}}{360^{\circ }}}\right)}$ . This can exist farther simplified to ${\textstyle 1={\tfrac {2\pi {\text{ rad}}}{360^{\circ }}}}$ . Multiplying both sides by 360° gives 360° = iiπ rad.

Unit symbol

The International Agency of Weights and Measures^[4] and International Organization for Standardization^[6] specify rad as the symbol for the radian. Culling symbols that were in use in 1909 are ^c (the superscript letter c, for "round measure out"), the alphabetic character r, or a superscript ^R,^[7] only these variants are infrequently used, as they may be mistaken for a degree symbol (°) or a radius (r). Hence a value of ane.ii radians would be written today as i.2 rad; primitive notations could include i.2 r, i.2^rad, 1.2^c, or 1.2^R.

In mathematical writing, the symbol "rad" is frequently omitted. When quantifying an angle in the absence of any symbol, radians are assumed, and when degrees are meant, the degree sign ° is used.

Dimensional analysis

Plane bending is defined as θ = s/r , where θ is the subtended bending in radians, s is arc length, and r is radius. Ane radian corresponds to the angle for which southward = r , hence 1 radian = ane m/m.^[8] However, ${\displaystyle \mathrm {rad} }$ is only to be used to express angles, non to limited ratios of lengths in general.^[four] A like calculation using the surface area of a circular sector θ = 2A/r ² gives one radian every bit ane g²/m².^[ix] The fundamental fact is that the radian is a dimensionless unit of measurement equal to 1. In SI 2019, the radian is defined accordingly equally i rad = i.^[10] It is a long-established practice in mathematics and across all areas of science to make employ of ${\displaystyle \mathrm {rad} =1}$ .^{[11] [12]} In 1993 the AAPT Metric Committee specified that the radian should explicitly announced in quantities just when different numerical values would be obtained when other bending measures were used, such as in the quantities of angle measure (rad), angular speed (rad/s), athwart dispatch (rad/due south²), and torsional stiffness (Northward⋅m/rad), and not in the quantities of torque (N⋅m) and athwart momentum (kg⋅thousand²/south).^[13]

Giacomo Prando says "the current situation leads inevitably to ghostly appearances and disappearances of the radian in the dimensional analysis of physical equations."^[14] For example, a mass hanging past a string from a pulley volition ascent or drop past y = rθ centimeters, where r is the radius of the pulley in centimeters and θ is the bending the pulley turns in radians. When multiplying r past θ the unit of radians of disappears from the result. Similarly in the formula for the angular velocity of a rolling wheel, ω = v/r , radians announced in the units of ω but non on the right mitt side.^[15] Anthony French calls this phenomenon "a perennial problem in the teaching of mechanics".^[xvi] Oberhofer says that the typical advice of ignoring radians during dimensional analysis and adding or removing radians in units co-ordinate to convention and contextual knowledge is "pedagogically unsatisfying".^[17]

At to the lowest degree a dozen scientists betwixt 1936 and 2022 have made proposals to treat the radian as a base unit of measurement of mensurate defining its own dimension of "angle".^{[18] [nineteen] [20]} Quincey's review of proposals outlines two classes of proposal. The get-go option changes the unit of a radius to meters per radian, but this is incompatible with dimensional analysis for the area of a circumvolve, πr ² . The other pick is to innovate a dimensional abiding. According to Quincey this arroyo is "logically rigorous" compared to SI, but requires "the modification of many familiar mathematical and concrete equations".^[21]

In particular Quincey identifies Torrens' proposal, to introduces a constant η equal to ane inverse radian (1 rad⁻¹) in a style like to the introduction of the constant ε ₀.^{[21] [a]} With this change the formula for the angle subtended at the middle of a circle, s = rθ , is modified to become s = ηrθ , and the Taylor series for the sine of an bending θ becomes:^{[20] [22]}

$${\displaystyle \operatorname {Sin} \theta =\sin _{\text{rad}}(\eta \theta )=\eta \theta -{\frac {(\eta \theta )^{3}}{3!}}+{\frac {(\eta \theta )^{5}}{5!}}-{\frac {(\eta \theta )^{7}}{seven!}}+\cdots .}$$

The capitalized function ${\displaystyle \operatorname {Sin} }$ is the "complete" role that takes an argument with a dimension of angle and is independent of the units expressed,^[22] while ${\displaystyle \sin _{\text{rad}}}$ is the traditional role on pure numbers which assumes its argument is in radians.^[23] ${\displaystyle \operatorname {Sin} }$ tin can exist denoted ${\displaystyle \sin }$ if it is clear that the complete grade is meant.^{[20] [24]}

SI can exist considered relative to this framework as a natural unit system where the equation η = 1 is assumed to hold, or similarly, 1 rad = i. This radian convention allows the omission of η in mathematical formulas.^[25]

A dimensional constant for angle is "rather strange" and the difficulty of modifying equations to add together the dimensional constant is probable to preclude widespread employ.^[20] Defining radian as a base unit may be useful for software, where the disadvantage of longer equations is minimal.^[26] For example, the Boost units library defines angle units with a plane_angle dimension,^[27] and Mathematica's unit organisation similarly considers angles to have an bending dimension.^{[28] [29]}

Between degrees

Equally stated, one radian is equal to ${\displaystyle {180^{\circ }}/{\pi }}$ . Thus, to convert from radians to degrees, multiply past ${\displaystyle {180^{\circ }}/{\pi }}$ .

${\displaystyle {\text{angle in degrees}}={\text{angle in radians}}\cdot {\frac {180^{\circ }}{\pi }}}$

For case:

${\displaystyle 1{\text{ rad}}=1\cdot {\frac {180^{\circ }}{\pi }}\approx 57.2958^{\circ }}$

${\displaystyle 2.v{\text{ rad}}=2.v\cdot {\frac {180^{\circ }}{\pi }}\approx 143.2394^{\circ }}$

${\displaystyle {\frac {\pi }{3}}{\text{ rad}}={\frac {\pi }{3}}\cdot {\frac {180^{\circ }}{\pi }}=lx^{\circ }}$

Conversely, to convert from degrees to radians, multiply past ${\displaystyle {\pi }/{180^{\circ }}}$ .

${\displaystyle {\text{angle in radians}}={\text{angle in degrees}}\cdot {\frac {\pi }{180^{\circ }}}}$

For example:

${\displaystyle one^{\circ }=1^{\circ }\cdot {\frac {\pi }{180^{\circ }}}\approx 0.0175{\text{ rad}}}$

${\displaystyle 23^{\circ }=23^{\circ }\cdot {\frac {\pi }{180^{\circ }}}\approx 0.4014{\text{ rad}}}$

Radians can exist converted to turns (consummate revolutions) by dividing the number of radians past 2π.

Between gradians

${\displaystyle 2\pi }$ radians equals one turn, which is by definition 400 gradians (400 gons or 400^k). So, to convert from radians to gradians multiply by ${\displaystyle 200^{\text{thousand}}/\pi }$ , and to convert from gradians to radians multiply by ${\displaystyle \pi /200^{\text{g}}}$ . For case,

${\displaystyle i.2{\text{ rad}}=1.2\cdot {\frac {200^{\text{g}}}{\pi }}\approx 76.3944^{\text{g}}}$

${\displaystyle l^{\text{thousand}}=50^{\text{g}}\cdot {\frac {\pi }{200^{\text{yard}}}}\approx 0.7854{\text{ rad}}}$

Usage

Mathematics

Some mutual angles, measured in radians. All the large polygons in this diagram are regular polygons.

In calculus and about other branches of mathematics beyond practical geometry, angles are universally measured in radians. This is because radians have a mathematical "naturalness" that leads to a more than elegant conception of a number of important results.

Near notably, results in assay involving trigonometric functions can exist elegantly stated, when the functions' arguments are expressed in radians. For example, the use of radians leads to the simple limit formula

${\displaystyle \lim _{h\rightarrow 0}{\frac {\sin h}{h}}=i,}$

which is the basis of many other identities in mathematics, including

${\displaystyle {\frac {d}{dx}}\sin x=\cos x}$ ^[5]

${\displaystyle {\frac {d^{two}}{dx^{2}}}\sin ten=-\sin x.}$

Because of these and other properties, the trigonometric functions appear in solutions to mathematical problems that are non obviously related to the functions' geometrical meanings (for example, the solutions to the differential equation ${\displaystyle {\tfrac {d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}=-y}$ , the evaluation of the integral ${\displaystyle \textstyle \int {\frac {dx}{1+x^{2}}},}$ and so on). In all such cases, information technology is found that the arguments to the functions are nigh naturally written in the course that corresponds, in geometrical contexts, to the radian measurement of angles.

The trigonometric functions also have simple and elegant series expansions when radians are used. For example, when x is in radians, the Taylor series for sinx becomes:

${\displaystyle \sin x=10-{\frac {10^{iii}}{3!}}+{\frac {x^{5}}{v!}}-{\frac {x^{vii}}{7!}}+\cdots .}$

If x were expressed in degrees, then the series would contain messy factors involving powers of π/180: if x is the number of degrees, the number of radians is y = π x / 180, so

${\displaystyle \sin x_{\mathrm {deg} }=\sin y_{\mathrm {rad} }={\frac {\pi }{180}}x-\left({\frac {\pi }{180}}\right)^{iii}\ {\frac {x^{3}}{three!}}+\left({\frac {\pi }{180}}\correct)^{5}\ {\frac {x^{5}}{5!}}-\left({\frac {\pi }{180}}\right)^{7}\ {\frac {x^{seven}}{seven!}}+\cdots .}$

In a similar spirit, mathematically important relationships between the sine and cosine functions and the exponential function (run into, for case, Euler's formula) can be elegantly stated, when the functions' arguments are in radians (and messy otherwise).

Physics

The radian is widely used in physics when angular measurements are required. For example, athwart velocity is typically measured in radians per second (rad/s). One revolution per 2d is equivalent to 2π radians per 2nd.

Similarly, angular acceleration is often measured in radians per second per second (rad/sⁱⁱ).

For the purpose of dimensional analysis, the units of athwart velocity and athwart acceleration are s⁻¹ and s⁻² respectively.

Besides, the stage difference of two waves can also exist measured in radians. For case, if the phase divergence of two waves is (n⋅twoπ) radians, where n is an integer, they are considered in stage, whilst if the phase divergence of 2 waves is ( due north⋅2π + π ), where n is an integer, they are considered in antiphase.

Prefixes and variants

Metric prefixes for submultiples are used with radians. A milliradian (mrad) is a thousandth of a radian (0.001 rad), i.due east. ane rad = xⁱⁱⁱ mrad. There are 2π × m milliradians (≈ 6283.185 mrad) in a circumvolve. So a milliradian is just under 1 / 6283 of the bending subtended by a full circumvolve. This unit of angular measurement of a circumvolve is in common use by telescopic sight manufacturers using (stadiametric) rangefinding in reticles. The deviation of laser beams is as well usually measured in milliradians.

The angular mil is an approximation of the milliradian used past NATO and other armed services organizations in gunnery and targeting. Each athwart mil represents ane / 6400 of a circle and is 15 / viii % or ane.875% smaller than the milliradian. For the pocket-sized angles typically institute in targeting work, the convenience of using the number 6400 in adding outweighs the modest mathematical errors it introduces. In the by, other gunnery systems have used dissimilar approximations to 1 / 2000π ; for instance Sweden used the i / 6300 streck and the USSR used 1 / 6000 . Being based on the milliradian, the NATO mil subtends roughly one m at a range of g m (at such small-scale angles, the curvature is negligible).

Prefixes smaller than milli- are useful in measuring extremely small-scale angles. Microradians (μrad, ten^{−half-dozen} rad) and nanoradians (nrad, x⁻⁹ rad) are used in astronomy, and can also be used to measure out the beam quality of lasers with ultra-depression divergence. More common is the arc 2nd, which is π / 648,000  rad (around 4.8481 microradians).

History

Pre-20th century

The idea of measuring angles past the length of the arc was in utilise by mathematicians quite early. For instance, al-Kashi (c. 1400) used then-chosen diameter parts equally units, where one diameter part was one / 60 radian. They also used sexagesimal subunits of the diameter part.^[30] Newton in 1672 spoke of "the angular quantity of a body's circular motility", just used it merely as a relative measure out to develop an astronomical algorithm.^[31]

The concept of the radian measure is normally credited to Roger Cotes, who died in 1716. By 1722, his cousin Robert Smith had collected and published Cotes' mathematical writings in a book, Harmonia mensurarum.^[32] In a chapter of editorial comments, Smith gave what is probably the start published calculation of ane radian in degrees, citing a note of Cotes that has non survived. Smith described the radian in everything but name, and recognized its naturalness equally a unit of angular measure.^{[33] [34]}

In 1765, Leonhard Euler implicitly adopted the radian equally the angle unit for all equations involving rotation.^[31] Specifically, Euler defined angular velocity as "The angular speed in rotational motion is the speed of that betoken, the distance of which from the axis of gyration is expressed past one."^[35] Euler was probably the commencement to adopt this convention, referred to as the radian convention, which gives the simple formula for athwart velocity ω= v/r . Equally discussed in § Dimensional analysis, the radian convention has been widely adopted, and other conventions take the drawback of requiring a dimensional constant, for case ω = five/(ηr) .^[25]

Prior to the term radian becoming widespread, the unit was commonly chosen circular measure of an angle.^[36] The term radian first appeared in print on 5 June 1873, in examination questions fix by James Thomson (brother of Lord Kelvin) at Queen's College, Belfast. He had used the term as early as 1871, while in 1869, Thomas Muir, then of the University of St Andrews, vacillated betwixt the terms rad, radial, and radian. In 1874, after a consultation with James Thomson, Muir adopted radian.^{[37] [38] [39]} The name radian was not universally adopted for some time after this. Longmans' Schoolhouse Trigonometry even so called the radian round measure when published in 1890.^[twoscore]

As a SI unit of measurement

As Paul Quincey et al. writes, "the status of angles within the International Arrangement of Units (SI) has long been a source of controversy and defoliation."^[41] In 1960, the CGPM established the SI and the radian was classified as a "supplementary unit" forth with the steradian. This special class was officially regarded "either as base units or as derived units", equally the CGPM could not reach a decision on whether the radian was a base unit or a derived unit.^[42] Richard Nelson writes "This ambivalence [in the classification of the supplemental units] prompted a spirited discussion over their proper estimation."^[43] In May 1980 the Consultative Committee for Units (CCU) considered a proposal for making radians an SI base unit, using a constant α ₀ = 1 rad,^{[44] [25]} but turned information technology downward to avert an upheaval to current practice.^[25]

In October 1980 the CGPM decided that supplementary units were dimensionless derived units for which the CGPM allowed the liberty of using them or non using them in expressions for SI derived units,^[43] on the basis that "[no ceremonial] exists which is at the same time coherent and convenient and in which the quantities plane angle and solid angle might be considered equally base quantities" and that "[the possibility of treating the radian and steradian as SI base units] compromises the internal coherence of the SI based on only seven base units".^[45] In 1995 the CGPM eliminated the grade of supplementary units and defined the radian and the steradian as "dimensionless derived units, the names and symbols of which may, but need not, be used in expressions for other SI derived units, equally is user-friendly".^[46] Mikhail Kalinin writing in 2019 has criticized the 1980 CGPM decision as "unfounded" and says that the 1995 CGPM conclusion used inconsistent arguments and introduced "numerous discrepancies, inconsistencies, and contradictions in the wordings of the SI".^[47]

At the 2013 meeting of the CCU, Peter Mohr gave a presentation on alleged inconsistencies arising from defining the radian equally a dimensionless unit rather than a base unit of measurement. CCU President Ian 1000. Mills declared this to be a "formidable problem" and the CCU Working Group on Angles and Dimensionless Quantities in the SI was established.^[48] The CCU met most recently in 2021,^[update] just did not accomplish a consensus. A minor number of members argued strongly that the radian should be a base unit, but the majority felt the condition quo was acceptable or that the modify would crusade more problems than information technology would solve. A task group was established to "review the historical employ of SI supplementary units and consider whether reintroduction would be of do good", amidst other activities.^{[49] [fifty]}
