  2. atan2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atan2

    atan2(y, x) returns the angle θ between the positive x-axis and the ray from the origin to the point (x, y), confined to (−π, π].Graph of ⁡ (,) over /. In computing and mathematics, the function atan2 is the 2-argument arctangent.

  3. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    A trigonometric number is a number that can be expressed as the sine or cosine of a rational multiple of π radians. [2] Since sin ⁡ ( x ) = cos ⁡ ( x − π / 2 ) , {\displaystyle \sin(x)=\cos(x-\pi /2),} the case of a sine can be omitted from this definition.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machin-like_formula

    If = then ⁡ is 45 degrees or radians. This means that if the real part and complex part are equal then the arctangent will equal π 4 {\textstyle {\frac {\pi }{4}}} . Since the arctangent of one has a very slow convergence rate if we find two complex numbers that when multiplied will result in the same real and imaginary part we will have a ...

    The quantity 206 265 ″ is approximately equal to the number of arcseconds in a circle (1 296 000 ″), divided by 2π, or, the number of arcseconds in 1 radian. The exact formula is = ⁡ (″) and the above approximation follows when tan X is replaced by X.

    Subtracting ⁡ from both sides and dividing by 2 by two yields the power-reduction formula for sine: ⁡ = (⁡ ()). The half-angle formula for sine can be obtained by replacing θ {\displaystyle \theta } with θ / 2 {\displaystyle \theta /2} and taking the square-root of both sides: sin ⁡ ( θ / 2 ) = ± ( 1 − cos ⁡ θ ) / 2 ...

    When radians (rad) are employed, the angle is given as the length of the arc of the unit circle subtended by it: the angle that subtends an arc of length 1 on the unit circle is 1 rad (≈ 57.3°), and a complete turn (360°) is an angle of 2 π (≈ 6.28) rad.
