COMMENTS

180*atan(n)/Pi is an exact integer only for n = 0 and n = 1 (and n = -1). a(n) = 90 for n >= 58.

FORMULA

For all integers n, a(n) = ceil(180*atan(n)/Pi) = -A140276(-n), where a negative term represents a fourth-quadrant angle. Terms shown are only for n >= 0.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 45 degrees as that is the first-quadrant angle with tan(45 deg) = 1. a(2) = 64 degrees as 180*atan(2)/Pi = 63.4349... and ceil(63.4349...) = 64.

PROG

(PARI) a(n) = ceil(180*atan(n)/Pi)
