Scrape Away Pain: Gua Sha. When I was finishing my undergraduate coursework, I was working part-time in a hospital research department. My co-workers knew I had my eyes set on Eastern Medical training. On rare occasions, questions concerning Eastern Medicine would arise, and these questions would always be directed toward me.
A radian is a unit of angular measure. A turn in a full circle has an angle of 2Ï radians. A radian is a unit of measuring angles. It is shown by the symbol rad or, less often, c (for circular measure). The radian was once an SI unit, but was done away with in 1995. A milliradian is 1/1000 of a radian.
The size of a radian is determined by the requirement that there are 2 radians in a circle. Thus 2 radians equals 360 degrees. This means that 1 radian = 180/ degrees, and 1 degree = /180 radians. The reason for this is that so many formulas become much easier to write and to understand when radians are used to measure angles. A very good example is provided by the formula for the length of a circular arc.
