Problem you'd like to fix

I'm always frustrated when I have a radiant angle which is not simplified, and when I want to know its value, belonging to ]0;2π]. The calculator is able to simplify it (it is only a modulo 2π operation), but does not provide a way to do it easily. The angle is not simplified when applying some trigonometrical functions such as cos, sin or tan in the advanced menu.

Screenshots

Here is an example, when writing cos(9π/4), I would expect it to give θ = π/4 (or 0.25π, basically the same) in the θ line

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to get an angle simplified for instance when using cos, sin or tan, like in the above menu in the θ line.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've also considered adding a function in the toolbox to simplify an angle, which would basically give the same angle but between ]0;2π]. It is a good alternative in my opinion.

Additional context

Thanks for the issue, I think I'll make theta equal to the main measure of the angle.

For an angle like sqrt(5) x π, do you think it's better to simplify it to (sqrt(5) - 2) x π, at the risk of having a more complex formula in the end, or leave it in its original form and simplify only the rational coefficients of π (like 3/2) ?
