us Hello guys again,
I came up with a math question, I would like to know everything about 
math.pi
and how to use it in lua? Probably could some of you give me some examples of using it, please? As far as i know it has a fair connection with 
math.rad
, 
math.sin
, 
math.cos
and 
math.tan
.

math.pi is basically a constant value. The value of pi (3.14159...)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

It's required for all sorts of trigonometric calculations. Including sin/cos/tan which require an angle in radians in Lua. pi is equal to an angle of 180°. pi/2 is equal to 90° etc.

math.rad converts an angle in degrees to an angle in radians.
math.deg converts an angle in radians to an angle in degrees.

e.g.
math.sin(math.pi)

is equal to
math.sin(math.rad(180))
