    But, but, but.....  1 cycle = 360 degrees  = 2*pi radians, so
    frequency can be expressed in radians/second, although the
    numbers get unwieldy because frequencies which are an integral
    number of Hertz are not an integral number if expressed in
    radians/second.

    I'm still not used to the Siemens (pronounced Zee-mans)
    replacing Mho for units of conductance.
