Gives closed forms for many arctangent values:
arctan(2) = Pi - a, arctan(1/2) = a - Pi/2,
arctan(3) = a - Pi/4, arctan(1/3) = 3*Pi/4 - a,
arctan(7) = 7*Pi/4 - 2*a, arctan(1/7) = 2*a - 5*Pi/4,
arctan(4/3) = 2*a - Pi and arctan(3/4) = 3*Pi/2 - 2*a.
Dihedral angle in the dodecahedron (radians). - R. J. Mathar, Mar 24 2012
