.SH NAME
catan, catanf, catanl \- complex arc tangents
.SH LIBRARY
Math library
.RI ( libm ", " \-lm )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <complex.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions calculate the complex arc tangent of
.IR z .
If \fIy\~=\~catan(z)\fP, then \fIz\~=\~ctan(y)\fP.
The real part of
.I y
is chosen in the interval [\-pi/2, pi/2].
.P
One has:
.P
.in +4n
.EX
catan(z) = (clog(1 + i * z) \- clog(1 \- i * z)) / (2 * i)
