Radian symbol, and in mathematical writing the symbol "rad" is almost always omitted. When quantifying an angle in the absence of any symbol, radians are assumed, and when degrees are meant the symbol ° is used. It follows that the magnitude in radians of one complete revolution (360 degrees) is the length of the entire circumference divided by the radius, or , or 2. Thus 2 radians is equal to 360 degrees, meaning that one radian is equal to 180/ degrees. The relation formula_1 can be derived using the formula for arc length. Taking the formula for arc length, or formula_2.
360 Degrees of Billy Paul was similarly enthusiastic in discussing how Paul's sound developed over the years from the early club jazz of "Feelin' Good at the Cadillac Club" (1968) to the merging of jazz and soul on "Going East" (1971): "and then we did Billy's "360 Degrees" album and it all came together with "Me & Mrs. Jones."
