    Babylonian Religious Units

    Just curious as to how many of you prefer to work in Babylonian religious units (or degrees) over radians.
    Merry Math Making!

    Did you know that...
    The probability that a random rational number has an even denominator is 1/3 (Salamin and Gosper 1972)? This result is independently verified by me (2002)!
