It certainly is not. The *result* of cos is a unitless number, not an
angle.
What you mean is that the *input* to cos, x, has to be supplied in
radians. No, you can't change that anywhere, but you can do this:
>>> math.cos(math.radians(45))
0.70710678118654757
So of course you can write your own function:
def cos(x):
return math.cos(math.radians(x))
and call that.
