ATNINT
Name:
Type:
Purpose:
This program computes the integral of the inverse-tangent
function.
Description:
The ATNINT function is defined as:
with arctan denoting the inverse tangent function.
Dataplot computes this function using ACM Algorithm 757 (see
Reference: below). The function is computed using Chebyshev
expansions, the coefficients of which are given to 20 decimal
places.
Syntax:
LET <y> = ATNINT(<x>)
<SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
where <x> is a number, variable or parameter;
<y> is a variable or a parameter (depending on what
<x> is) where the computed ATNINT function
values are stored;
and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.
Examples:
LET A = ATNINT(2.3)
PLOT ATNINT(X) FOR X = 0 0.01 5
LET X2 = ATNINT(X1) FOR X1 = 0.1 0.1 3.0
