Thanks. Yes it makes sense that I stick to the two-parameter arctan.
I'm working with a rotating system
and quadrant information is important. It's amazing to see
how different software treats the order of the two-parameter arctan
differently. If I'm right
C is like Ada but in MathCad, the order of the arguments is reversed.
