- In an ideal world, * all math would be using τ and hence CSS would be using `tau` (instead of `turn` and `rad`). - In the real world, * professional math is using π together with (often implied) ‘rad’, while CSS is using explicit `rad` *without* π and, rarely, `turn` instead of `tau`, τ or 2π, * colloquial math is using ° and hence CSS is using `deg` (in addition to `turn` and `rad`). - In @tabatkins’ conclusion, actual people should assume *ideal* math and apply it to actual CSS, i.e. τ = `1turn` = 2π ≈ `6.283rad`. - In my conclusion, actual people should assume actual math and be able to apply it to actual CSS, i.e. π = `1pi` (or `1pirad`) = ½τ = `0.5turn` ≈ `3.141rad`, just like 1° = `1deg`. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Crissov Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/309#issuecomment-268246347 using your GitHub account
