  1. What are "tan" and "atan"? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    May 4, 2015 · 0 atan stands for "arc tangent." It is the inverse function of tangent - this means it undoes the tangent function. So atan (tan (30)) = 30.

  2. Confusion about atan vs atan2 - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Feb 29, 2024 · Here is a graph of atan(m) and the graph of acos(1/sqrt(1+m^2)) Both produce identical values for positive slope m, but the second one returns only the positive branch of …

  3. How does atan (1) * 4 equal PI? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    How does this give PI? On the second point, if I understand atan correctly, it takes a ratio of two sides, and returns the corresponding angle. That means that atan(1) is referring a situation …

  4. What is the Arctangent of Tangent? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    simple solution... draw a graph of the tangent function. Then draw the arctan function on both an x-y graph and a y-x graph.

  5. Relative condition number of $x \mapsto \operatorname {atan} (x ...

    Jun 9, 2022 · I'm trying to think through the sensitivity of atan2 to errors in its inputs and I've run into a disconnect that I don't quite understand. I know that you can compute the relative …

  6. trigonometry - How to use atan2? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    I've looked at Wikipedia and don't really understand what I'm reading or how to implement atan2(). I was hoping someone could point me to a better resource or give me an example of how to …

  7. Are $\operatorname {asin}$, $\operatorname {acos}$ and …

    Jun 8, 2020 · The calculator I have used since high school uses ASIN, ACOS, and ATAN: On the other hand, TI and Casio calculators appear to use the $\operatorname {trig}^ {-1}$ notation. …

  8. trigonometry - How can one understand the ATAN2 () function for ...

    Apr 3, 2018 · @Ahmed ATAN2 is just a version of ATAN that accepts the numerator and denominator separately so that it can select the correct quadrant for the angle.

  9. $\tan A + \tan B + \tan C = \tan A\tan B\tan C\,$ in a triangle

    You are so close. Write it as $-\tan (C) = \frac {\tan A+\tan B} {1-\tan A\tan B}$ and then multiply by $1-\tan A\tan B$.

  10. What 's the differece between $\\cot(x)$ and $\\arctan(x)$?

    Yes. $\cot x$ is the reciprocal, $\arctan x$ is the (principal) inverse, and $\arctan x=\frac1 {\tan x}$ is incorrect.
