Radians are the preferred unit that mathematicians and scientists use for measuring angles. Likewise steradians are the preferred unit used for measuring solid angles. This book explains the key concepts behind radians and steradians, as well as how to perform mathematical calculations based on these units (including many worked examples, questions for you to do yourself, and answers to those questions to check your results).
Topics covered in the book include:
