Bonjour , 

I do not understand answers of Mathematica :

question 1 :  Series [ ArcTan [  x ]  , { x , - Infinity , 2 } ] 
answer   :   Pi / 2   -  1 / x  +  O ( 1 / x ) ^ 3 

question 2 :  Limit [ ArcTan [ x ] , x -> - Infinity ] 
answer   :  -  Pi / 2   

The first answer is False , the second answer is correct.

Many thanks in advance.

Didier Losfeld   Professor of mathematics ( France )
