With my calculator, I get +arctan%28+1.6852+%29+=+59.315+ degrees
Because +tan%28+59.315+%29+=+1.6852+, I can eliminate
the 2nd and 4th quadrants where the tan is negative.
--------------------
In the first quadrant, I just have +59.315+ degrees
In the 3rd quadrant, I have +180+%2B+59.315+=+239.315+ degrees
--------------------
Note that in the 1st quadrant, the signs are +/+
and in the 2nd quadrant, the signs are -/-
Both give me a sign of +
