Mt Olympus is a little closer to home in WA or Greece. Â Â mons is latin for mountain... mons veneris is latin for cameltoe (mountain of venus) by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Physicist and Physics teacher I know uses degrees escept for some rotational problems. Messes kids up all the time going from Calculus to Physics and forgetting to change their calculator.

Sphinx Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 There are plenty of times in physics where using degrees will fuck you up. Specifically small-angle approximations, where sin(x)=(roughly) x, but only when x is in radians. Degrees suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
