I have a matrix A contain x values in the first column and y values in the second column. I want to calculate the angle between vectors.

There is no "angle between points". Do you mean the angle between two vectors?

The ACOS and the corresponding ASIN approchs are numerically instable near to multiples of pi (half). Better use the more accurate ATAN2 method:
angle = atan2(norm(cross(v1,v2)), dot(v1,v2));

Hi, I have no idea if anyone will see this comment as it is years after the original post, but mathematically what is this expression:
"angle = atan2(abs(det([v1;v2])),dot(v1,v2));"

@stephen thats basically doing the inverse tangent of the cross product of 2D vectors over the dot product of those vectors, giving you the angle; cross product of a x b is |a||b|sin(theta) and dot product is |a||b|cos(theta) so dividing them by each other and taking inverse tan is the angle
