For sailors, bearing is the angle measured clockwise from North. For mathematicians, direction is measured counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis. Thus, due East as a bearing would be 90 degrees, since it is 90 degrees clockwise from North, and East as a direction would be 0 degrees, since East is the same as the positive x-axis. So yeah, there you go.
You find the angle with a fixed direction using trigonometry. You then convert it to an angle measured in degrees, clockwise from North, and written as a three digit number.

A bearing is the measure of the angle of travel compared with North. It is always measured in degrees, in the clockwise direction, and given as a 3-digit number. So for example, North = 000 NorthEast = 045 East = 090 South = 180 SouthWest = 225
If you turn 180 degrees clockwise or anticlockwise you will be facing south.

As long as you are not standing on either the North or South Poles, the east would be to your right.
East-facing azimuth = 90°Northwest-facing azimuth = 315°To turn from east-facing to northwest facing, you turn 225° to the right (clockwise).
90 degrees from North would be East, then another 45 degrees from that would bring it halfway to South. Therefore, 135 degrees clockwise from North is Southeast.

Use a compass to identify which direction is north. Face that direction, then turn ninety degrees to your right. You are facing east.
You are flying west (start at north, and work your way around clockwise, 90 degrees for every quarter of a circle)
