[BUG] Degrees on CAS
Context: CAS/Home in degrees
Test 1 Enter cos(90) in CAS just to check you get 0 and are indeed in degrees Test 2 Enter acos(cos(pi/2)) you get 90 Home returns 1.57 as expected. Test 3 Enter asin(sin(pi)) you get 0 Home returns 3.14 as expected |

RE: [BUG] Degrees on CAS
Well done Terje. I'll remember you shall not ask the Prime for an Exact result if you want the correct one. Huh what?

Given that "the number π is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter", it may not be too far fetched that the system treats π/2 as 90 in Exact mode? Maybe others have a clearer understanding/explanation for that? Cheers, Terje |

RE: [BUG] Degrees on CAS
Will be fixed with the next release. It was not found before because CAS users generally work in radian. And if you work in degree, there is no reason to enter something like cos(pi).
