I read the wiki, but it still doesn't make to much sense.

math.rad measures angles in radians. This is extremely useful because CFrame.Angles uses radians for rotations.

What a radian is is basically measures the angles, instead of 360 degrees as 1 full turn, it uses pi*2. Why pi*2? its the circumference of a circle with a radius of 1. So a radian pi is 180 degrees, pi/2 is 90 degrees, and so forth. You can calculate this with degree/180*math.pi, and this is what math.rad does.
