.SH NAME
catan, catanf, catanl \- complex arc tangents
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <complex.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR catan ()
function calculates the complex arc tangent of
.IR z .
If \fIy\ =\ catan(z)\fP, then \fIz\ =\ ctan(y)\fP.
The real part of y is chosen in the interval [\-pi/2,pi/2].
.LP
One has:
