%N Decimal expansion of arctan(sqrt(7)).

%C This constant is the least x > 0 satisfying cos(4*x) = (cos x)^2. - _Clark Kimberling_, Oct 15 2011

%C An identity resembling Machin's Pi/4 = arctan(1/1) = 4*arctan(1/5) - arctan(1/239) is arctan(sqrt(7)/1) = 5*arctan(sqrt(7)/11) + 2*arctan(sqrt(7)/181), which can also be expressed as arcsin(sqrt(7/2^3)) = 5*arcsin(sqrt(7/2^7)) + 2*arcsin(sqrt(7/2^15)) (cf. A038198). - _Joerg Arndt_, Nov 09 2012
