Definition
The usual units of measurement for angle are as follows:

 * Pi ($\pi$)


 * Full Rotation measures $2 \pi$ Radians

In the context of calculus in particular, it is usual to use radians.

This is because then the derivatives of trigonometric functions, such as, for example:
 * $\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm d x}\sin x = \cos x$

work out without the necessity of multiplicative constants.
