The Term “Radian” in Trigonometry
Abstract
DR. THOMAS MUIR, in his letter in NATURE of April 7 (p. 156), corrects the misapprehension implied in the ``New English Dictionary,'' viz. the supposition that the word ``radian'' was first introduced in the ``Treatise on Natural Philosophy'' by Thomson and Tait.
