| Summary: | In this article is discussed a subject that generates controversies in
the teaching of Physics: why the radian must be the correct unit
for the measurements of plane angles. The answer is, in our
opinion, in the concepts of Calculus, where the analytical notions
are independent of the geometrical ones. |
