I'd like to point out that math.hypot is a nontrivial function which
is easy to get wrong:
In [6]: x=1e200; y=1e200;
In [7]: math.hypot(x,y)
Out[7]: 1.41

I like them in math ("explicit is better than implicit"*), but I don't want to

Do we really need these functions in numpy? I mean it's just
multiplying/dividing the value by pi/180 (who knows why they're in the
math module..). Numpy doesn't have asin, acos, or atan either (they're
arcsin, arcos and arctan) so it isn't a superset of the math module.

HI all,
Someone on the wxPython list just pointed out that the math module now
includes includes angle-conversion utilities:
>>> degrees.__doc__
degrees(x) -> converts angle x from radians to degrees
>>> radians.__doc__
radians(x) -> converts angle x from degrees to radians
Not a big deal, bu
