Description

The function atan() takes x and returns y of arc tangents (in radians), such that y_i = tan^-1x_i, where -/2 < y_i /2.

The function atan2() takes two arguments and returns quadrant correct arc tangents z (in radians), such that z_i = tan^-1 ( x_i/ y_i ). For each element i, the expression atan2(xi, yi) is mathematically equivalent to:

At least one of the arguments x_i or y_i must be nonzero.
