I am trying to get the math module to deal with degrees rather than
radians. (that it deals with radians for the angular functions like
sin() isn't mentioned in the docs, which was sort of an eyeopener :) I
can't find any info on doing this. I can convert from-to degrees in the
code calling the function, but that's a bit clunky. Any pointers to an
FM to R? :)

For what is is worth.. Electrical Engineers for the most part work in degrees
NOT Radians for example try doing polar to rectangular or vice versa in polar.
I have never seen it done.
Also Borland C and C++ used Degrees and NOT Radians.. go look at the libraries
Just for what its worth.
Do you really need anything more complex than this?
>>> toRadians = math.pi/180.0
>>> math.sin(90*toRadians)
1.0
Perhaps I'm not understanding what you mean by "clunky", but this seems
pretty clean and simple to me.
