Does anyone know why I get different answers for atan2 when
calculating in Mata and Stata? Here is an example from Stata/SE 12.1
for Mac
. disp atan2(sqrt(.0113631735),sqrt(1-.0113631735))
.10680111
. mata
------------------------------------------------- mata (type end to
exit) -----------------------------------------------------------
: atan2(sqrt(.0113631735),sqrt(1-.0113631735))
1.463995218
: end
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel like I must be missing something very simple but I can't figure
out what it is.
