atan
Inverse tangent in radians
Syntax
Description
Y = atan(
returns the Inverse Tangent
(tan-1) of the elements of X
)X
in radians.
The function accepts both real and complex inputs.
For real values of
X
,atan(X)
returns values in the interval [-π/2, π/2].For complex values of
X
,atan(X)
returns complex values.
Examples
Inverse Tangent of a Value
Inverse Tangent of a Vector of Complex Values
Find the inverse tangent of the elements of vector x
. The atan
function acts on x
element-wise.
x = [0.5i 1+3i -2.2+i]; Y = atan(x)
Y = 1×3 complex
0.0000 + 0.5493i 1.4615 + 0.3059i -1.2019 + 0.1506i

Input Arguments
X
— Tangent of angle
scalar | vector | matrix | multidimensional array
Tangent of angle, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array.
The atan
operation is element-wise when X
is
nonscalar.
Data Types: single
| double
Complex Number Support: Yes
