eli5: Can’t we just create a different scale with pi as an integer?

177 views

We have number like pi and √2 that are problematic in some cases.
Does it exists a branch of math that uses them as units and recalculate every number in that scale to simplify some calculus?

Like
-π, 0,π,2π,3π and so on.

it would simplify some calculus, that’s why we use this scale (it’s called radians) but it makes most other – and more importantly most of our day-to-day – calculations A LOT more complex and difficult
