I would think the first is much shorter and just as clear/unique while the second is closer to the language of math.<br /><br />Best WishesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936111837781935054.post-76743623383322049952014-08-17T18:27:01.582+02:002014-08-17T18:27:01.582+02:00I like the shortcuts for the radian forms (radians...I like the shortcuts for the radian forms (radians are better anyway).<br /><br />But to be forward looking, perhaps you should include TAU and define PI as being TAU/2!<br /><br />http://blog.hostilefork.com/clocks-that-run-backwards/Brian Dickenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873914328480997979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936111837781935054.post-71040565271127751172014-08-07T18:25:56.352+02:002014-08-07T18:25:56.352+02:00Very nice work Doc!Very nice work Doc!Semseddin Moldibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088672468817290872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936111837781935054.post-46598985310009554072014-08-05T16:45:30.759+02:002014-08-05T16:45:30.759+02:00Alright, that's good news!!!
