Thanks for it! As a workaround, you can use

var sin = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/sin' );
var deg2rad = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/deg2rad' );
var deg = <val>;
console.log( sin( deg2rad( deg ) ) );

For reference, there is an existing issue open for this feature request: https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib/issues/32. A PR was opened (see https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib/pull/487), but IIRC still needs some touch ups.

@Pranavchiku the workaround will work, but, as mentioned in the other issue and PR, such a workaround is likely to have accuracy issues.
