An article in the current issue of The Physics Teacher ("Whence
the Radian", 32:444-45) motivated me to post this question.  Who
uses gradians as unit of angular measurement.  The article
describes the historical background but mentions no application.
Since virtually every calculator I've ever seen has a DRG key that
allows gradians to be used instead of degrees or radians I must
believe that either someone use gradians, or the manufacturers of
calculators are just out of touch!
