It's just easier to learn. Instead of introducing some weird irrational number to 10 year olds, give them a system they're gonna be comfortable with.
We should really use Tau though

adu ONLINE (05/19/2015) [-] I guess it's for colloquial understanding and conversion more than anything. Nobody refers to a corner as a pi/2 angle, they refer to it as a 90 degree angle. Unless a person specifically studies mathematics, they're likely to never hear about radians in their life.

morphodite (05/19/2015) [-] So I suck at math, right? I just finished a semester of Calculus, and I had to see a tutor to prepare for the final exam. He zoomed past a limit form of the derivative problem like it was nothing, and for some reason when I found out that the sqrt of something was just that thing to the 1/2 power, it blew my ******* mind. I passed the class with a 70% exactly
MFW he taught me that wizard **** .

thesoulseeker (05/19/2015) [-] Wait! You've taken calculus and you didn't know that roots are 1/x powers of something? **** I learned that two years before I even went to uni. Then again my school was kind of math focused.

vengefullkukumber (05/19/2015) [-] It's because since √(a)*√(a)=a=a^1
And (a^x)*(a^y)=a^(x+y)
Therefore a^1=(a^1\2)*(a^1\2)
Hence a^1\2=√a
I have no idea if you know this or not already or if you care, but I figured I might as well explain it just in case or if anyone else wants to know.

frenzyhero (05/19/2015) [-] Took me awhile also. It's said like sign/sine, not sin as in the 7 deadly sins. Lousy content.
