NAME

catan, catanf - complex arc tangent functions

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

These functions compute the complex arc tangent of _z, with branch cuts outside the interval [-_i, +_i] along the imaginary axis.

RETURN VALUE

These functions return the complex arc tangent value, in the range of a strip mathematically unbounded along the imaginary axis and in the interval [-pi/2, +pi/2] along the real axis.

ERRORS
