  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. Inverse trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_trigonometric...

    The most common convention is to name inverse trigonometric functions using an arc- prefix: arcsin(x), arccos(x), arctan(x), etc. [1] (This convention is used throughout this article.) This notation arises from the following geometric relationships: [ citation needed ] when measuring in radians, an angle of θ radians will correspond to an arc ...

  4. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

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

    Ptolemy's theorem states that the sum of the products of the lengths of opposite sides is equal to the product of the lengths of the diagonals. When those side-lengths are expressed in terms of the sin and cos values shown in the figure above, this yields the angle sum trigonometric identity for sine: sin( α + β ) = sin α cos β + cos α sin ...

  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. Inverse hyperbolic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_hyperbolic_functions

    A ray through the unit hyperbola = in the point (,), where is twice the area between the ray, the hyperbola, and the -axis. The earliest and most widely adopted symbols use the prefix arc-(that is: arcsinh, arccosh, arctanh, arcsech, arccsch, arccoth), by analogy with the inverse circular functions (arcsin, etc.).

  7. 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} )} .

    Arctangent function () ... Here, is a free parameter encoding the slope at =, which must be greater than or equal to because any smaller value will ...

  9. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    The opposite leg, O, is approximately equal to the length of the blue arc, s. Gathering facts from geometry, s = Aθ , from trigonometry, sin θ = ⁠ O / H ⁠ and tan θ = ⁠ O / A ⁠ , and from the picture, O ≈ s and H ≈ A leads to: sin ⁡ θ = O H ≈ O A = tan ⁡ θ = O A ≈ s A = A θ A = θ . {\displaystyle \sin \theta ={\frac ...
