updating oE arctan

Trigonometry

arctan

<built-in> function arctan(object tangent) 

returns an angle with given tangent.

Parameters:
  1. tangent : an object, each atom of which will be converted, no matter how deeply nested.
Returns:

An object, of the same shape as tangent. For each atom in flatten(tangent), the angle with smallest magnitude that has this atom as tangent is computed.

Comments:

All atoms in the returned value lie between -PI/2 and PI/2, exclusive.

This function may be applied to an atom or to all elements of a sequence (of sequence (...)).

arctan is faster than arcsin or arccos.

Example 1:
s = arctan({1,2,3}) 
-- s is {0.785398, 1.10715, 1.24905}
