But why this restriction? I thought the whole point of the two argument ArcTan was that it covered the entire circle, taking signs into account. The two argument ArcTan is a great idea that is incorporated into Mathematica. It would be even greater if Simplify knew the identity... ArcTan[Cos[x],Sin[x]] == x Is there any reason that should not be true?
