Thread: arctan(x)

Why doesnt math]\arctan(x)[/tex] yield a version that is not italicized, is it not a function, it says it is on LaTeX websites

The same goes for any inverse trigonometric or hyperbolic functions

i guess the syntax is off. \arctan x works ... see?

it is just the way the codes are set up. no parentheses

Hmm...I think you are magic CaptainBlack, for it did not work before...well anyways

....and thats happiness..not factorials xD

what about arctanh?

arctanh is not on the standard list of functions so you have to do it the hardway:

[tex]{\rm{arctanh}}(x)[/tex]
