This is where I disagree. Radians ARE just ratios. More specifically,
[cut] The definition of a radian in Appendix A (A.9) of the Guide for the Use of the International System of Units is: "The radian is the plane angle between two radii of a circle that cut off on the circumference an arc equal to the radius." You need to accept that definition if you are to have any chance of writing a credible Units library I'm afraid. regards Andy Little
