Encyclopedia > Atan2

Atan2 is a two-parameter function for computing the arctangent in the C programming language. Also available in C++, Java and Fortran. From the Linux Programmer's Manual [1]: "The atan2 C++ function calculates the arctangent of the two variables and . It is similar to calculating the arctangent of , except that the signs of both arguments are used to determine the quandrant of the result." This is the preferred form [2] for correctly determining the sign of the result in all quadrants. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions are functions of an angle, important when studying triangles and modeling periodic phenomena. ...
