  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. Machin-like formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machin-like_formula

    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 Machin-like formula. An example is ( 2 + i ) {\textstyle (2+\mathrm {i} )} and ( 3 + i ) {\textstyle (3+\mathrm {i} )} .

  4. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trigonometric...

    A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.

  5. Vincenty's formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty's_formulae

    If the initial point is at the North or South pole, then the first equation is indeterminate. If the initial azimuth is due East or West, then the second equation is indeterminate. If the standard 2-argument arctangent atan2 function is used, then these values are usually handled correctly. [clarification needed]

  6. Proofs of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_of_trigonometric...

    The proofs given in this article use these definitions, and thus apply to non-negative angles not greater than a right angle. For greater and negative angles , see Trigonometric functions . Other definitions, and therefore other proofs are based on the Taylor series of sine and cosine , or on the differential equation f ″ + f = 0 ...

  7. Arctangent series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctangent_series

    The extremely slow convergence of the arctangent series for | | makes this formula impractical per se. Kerala-school mathematicians used additional correction terms to speed convergence. John Machin (1706) expressed ⁠ 1 4 π {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{4}}\pi } ⁠ as a sum of arctangents of smaller values, eventually resulting in a variety of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_of_triangles

    For the spherical case, one can first compute the length of side from the point at α to the ship (i.e. the side opposite to β) via the ASA formula ⁡ = ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ (+) + ⁡ ⁡ (), and insert this into the AAS formula for the right subtriangle that contains the angle α and the sides b and d: ⁡ = ⁡ ⁡ = ⁡ + ⁡ ⁡. (The planar ...

  9. Fisher transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_transformation

    The application of Fisher's transformation can be enhanced using a software calculator as shown in the figure. Assuming that the r-squared value found is 0.80, that there are 30 data [clarification needed], and accepting a 90% confidence interval, the r-squared value in another random sample from the same population may range from 0.656 to 0.888.
