Angle of rotation carts on a Ferris wheel move along a circle around the center point of that circle. If a cart moves around the wheel once, the angle of rotation is 360 degrees. If the cart was stuck halfway, at the top of the wheel, at that point its angle of rotation was only 180 degrees. This is also referred to as the "order of symmetry." Angles are commonly measured in degrees, radians, gons (gradians) and turns, sometimes also in angular mils and binary radians. They are central to polar coordinates and trigonometry.

Revolutions in Mathematics Revolutions in Mathematics Revolutions in Mathematics is a collection of essays in the history and philosophy of mathematics. The book was reviewed by Pierre Kerszberg for "Mathematical Reviews" and by Michael S. Mahoney for "American Mathematical Monthly". Mahoney says "The title should have a question mark." He sets the context by referring to paradigm shifts that characterize scientific revolutions as described by Thomas Kuhn in his book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions". According to Michael Crowe in chapter one, revolutions never occur in mathematics. Mahoney explains how mathematics grows upon itself and does not discard earlier gains in understanding with
