SOLVED Hp Prime - CAS inconsistent derivatives of sin, cos, tan
In CAS I notice now that taking first derivative of sin, cos or tan yields different results if in radians versus degrees mode.

In radians mode, d sin(x)/dx gives cos(x)
In degrees mode it gives PI * cos(x)/180

I assume these should be consistent and match the result from radians mode?

Running 6030 firmware.
