deg2rad: Convert Degrees to Degrees

Description

A helper to convert degrees (360 in a circle) to Rad (\(2\pi\) in a circle, so \(deg x 180/\pi\) to get radians.

note: R's trig functions, e.g. sin() use Radians for input!

180 Degrees is equal to \(\pi\) radians. 1 Rad = \(180/\pi\) degrees (\(\approx 57.296^{\circ}\))

Usage

deg2rad(deg)

Arguments

deg

The value in degrees you wish to convert to radians
