# Python programming - math library that uses degrees by default [closed]

Other than the standard math module for Python3, is there another library out there that uses degrees by default (as opposed to radians)? I am teaching students to use turtle (which uses degrees by default) to draw figures and they need to use trigonometry to compute angles/sides. Right now they are only familiar with degrees. Ideas?

• I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is not really about mathematics education, but rather seeks a recommendation for a software package. While I think that there is likely an on-topic question in here somewhere, the relevance to MESE is not clear in the current from. – Xander Henderson Feb 15 '20 at 17:01

May I suggest giving them a bit of header code? i.e. Instead of using

from math import sin


try

import math

def sin(theta):

• @jvriesem I suppose you could call the functions sin_of_degrees() and the like, which at least makes it explicit. – David Z Feb 16 '20 at 8:17
