add i=0,pi case and note on arctangent function

| Jul 16, 2020 at 9:37 | comment | added | David Hammen | The typical convention for the two argument inverse tangent function is $x \tan(\text{arctan2}(y,x))= y$. There is no standard, so Murphy's law applies (if there are two ways to do it, and one way leads to disaster, someone will do it the other way). Some systems (e.g. Mathematica, Excel, various calculators) have the arguments reversed -- $x \tan(\text{arctan2}(x,y)) = y$. Which version of arctan2 are you using here? | |
