arctangents
Inverse tangent values
Arctangents is the plural of arctangent, the inverse of the tangent function in trigonometry.
Given a ratio, the arctangent returns the angle that would produce it.
Arctangents appear in calculations involving angles, slopes, and rotations: The formula uses arctangents to convert coordinates.
