I also noticed the difficulty to use Degrees with Mathematica.
In fact, 1 Degree is considered as Pi/180, so actually "Degrees" doesn't 
really exist...

If I want to display the angle in Degrees, I usually write:

0.36/Degree

Or, if you want to see the unit symbol :

(0.36/Degree)*"=B0"

But I'm afraid "Convert" can convert from Degree to Radian, but not from 
Radian to Degree...

Objet=A0: [mg85034] Converting Radians into Degrees into Mathematica 
6.01

Dear All,

I trying to Convert Radians into Degrees .
I really want the output value in unit degrees for further calculations.

I have tried this with no luck

Convert[0.36*Radian, Degree]

UnitsWrapper[20.626480624709636*Degree]


I looked on the Math Group Archive & came across various Units Package, but
still can not get it to work.


Any help or advice gratefully received.

Best Regards - Lea Rebanks...
