Thanks, fixed (it was not there as a means for detecting plagiarism; it is 
simply called "Radiant", and I had also thought "Gradiant", in German, 
respectively).  I have also fixed the gradian (gon) support in the custom 
trigonometrical functions that use the corresponding "constant" (the angle 
for a full circle is 400 gon, not 300 gon as I thought).

However, there was only one occurrence for each named mistake in the source 
code (comments); the number of occurrences on the Web site is merely a 
result of them being dragged along in the SVN repository through the years, 
which is published with all revisions at <http://PointedEars.de/websvn>.

Since I am not using math.js (this part now split into math/float.js) that 
often, those scripts have not undergone the same degree of review and 
testing as other scripts (yet); they are not production quality (yet).

I can only hope that your comment was motivated by an appreciation of what I 
am trying to do there, by someone interested in mathematics, and not made 
merely for the sake of pointing out publicly that I too make mistakes.  If 
the former applies, I would appreciate corrections of further mistakes in 
those scripts and further suggestions as to how they could be improved, via 
any communication channels that you see fit.

bad branches can sometimes cause the whole tree to collapse.
