As mentioned, with complex numbers the radians make more sense and of course 
cmath.sind(x) + 1j * cmath.sind(x) != cmath.exp(1j * x).

However, adding degrees version for cmath (import cmath) is still useful, 
cmath.rectd, cmath.phased, cmath.polard etc.

Would sind and cosd make Euler's formula work correctly?

sind(x) + i * sind(x) == math.e ** (i * x)

I suspect that adding these functions is kind of like those cartoons where the 
boat is springing leaks and the character tried to plug them with their 
fingers. Floating point is a leaky abstraction.

Perhaps you'd prefer an enhancement to the fractions module that provides real 
(not float) math?
