21 Aug 2009	Duane Hanselman	How does this save time? Function calling overhead makes this computationally slower than direct multiplication. Typing the function call degrees(theta) is 14 keystrokes whereas 180/pi*theta is only 12 keystrokes. The same is true for typing radians(theta). So how does this save time?
