degree (angular measure) The method of measuring angles in degrees dates back to Babylonian mathematics around 2000 bc. A complete revolution is divided into 360 degrees (°); a right angle measures 90°. Each degree is divided into 60 minutes (′) and each minute into 60 seconds (″). In more advanced work, angles are measured in radians, which are better suited to calculus and Taylor series.
