atan.c

这是一个同样来自贝尔实验室的和UNIX有着渊源的操作系统, 其简洁的设计和实现易于我们学习和理解

/*
	floating-point arctangent

	atan returns the value of the arctangent of its
	argument in the range [-pi/2,pi/2].

	atan2 returns the arctangent of arg1/arg2
	in the range [-pi,pi].

	there are no error returns.

	coefficients are #5077 from Hart & Cheney. (19.56D)
