Spanish term or phrase: ángulos cofinales
This is from an academic paper on the transit from trigonometry to calculus. This section is about how angles greater than 360 degrees are approached in various text books.

Los considera en los ángulos coterminales colocados en su posición normal, tienen lados terminales coincidentes, un ejemplo es -10 y 710 grados y en ángulos cofinales.

The paper is not particularly well written BTW. Thanks.

Explanation:
It does seem odd that they are only 26 hits for "cofinales", and only about 3 with "ángulos", yet there are 530 for "ángulos coterminales".

Could they be one and the same thing?

We say that a chain A is C
00
or that A has countable coterminalities if both the
cofinality and the coinitiality of A are equal to ℵ
0
. Note that this is equivalent to the
assertion that there is a coterminal (both coinitial and cofinal) subset of A isomorphic to
Z. And we say that a point α ∈ A has countable left character if {α ∈ A ; α < α}
has countable cofinality, and similarly for right character.

Thanks so much. I finally did find it, synonymously listed with coterminal...so your hunch was right.
