Application
In navigation, angles are used to designate the
course of a plane, a ship etc. Note that a navigator's compass is
marked in degrees in clock wise direction, with 600 at
due north (see fig). So to understand phrases like 'the object is
on the course of 900' in what direction the plane or
boat is headed ? We must use the navigator's notations.
