If you must have a ''unit'', might it be ``turn''? So e.g. we go 1/4 turn when we go from horizontal to vertical etc. But I think it good to have a discussion about whether a unit is actually required here, since the rational turn angle is a ratio of two similar things. Is there such a thing as a dimensionless unit??
No, in that case there is no contribution. You can see that by moving the curve just a little, so that north is no reached, or north is passed through in one direction and then immediately after that in the other direction.
Sir, thank you very much for this great lecture. I have a question: Using tangles, do the complex numbers need re-scaling too ? For example, what happens to formulas like e^(i\pi)=-1 ?
Just replace \theta with 2\pi\tau. As mention by Albert Steiner below. In order to obtain the usual derivative relationships between cos and sin, hence to get their Taylor series and obtain Euler's formula, it is necessary to use the conventional definition so that differential arc length is rd\theta. So in that respect, the tangle is not very useful.
The Prof is very easy to listen to and it gets better and better.
I'm so glad i found this video. it clarified a lot of the things id been trying to figure out about circular functions related to rational trig
Very nice. Thx. Dr. Wildberger.
Thank you so much Sir.
Sure buddy. Sure. Very revolutionary of you to think in such a novel way. Can we get a fields medal over here. That aside, nice series of lectures
you're great.

Admittedly the two concepts are pretty close, but often we want to think of a turn angle as a measurement, ie a number.
Do you have a topological proof of the Morley's Triangle? The trisectors seem to be rational tangles, so maybe there's an elegant proof :)
The usual way circular functions like sin x are ``defined'' is to treat x as a ``real number'', without any dimensions.
