%N Decimal expansion of arccos(sqrt(1/3)) and of arcsin(sqrt(2/3)) and arctan(sqrt(2)).
%C Angle (in radians) between an edge and (the normal of) a face of the regular tetrahedron. - _R. J. Mathar_, Feb 23 2012
%C Also known as magic angle; root of P_2(cos(theta)), with P_2(x) being second-order Legendre polynomial. - _Stanislav Sykora_, May 25 2012
%C From _Stanislav Sykora_, Nov 14 2013: (Start)
%C Also the angle between the body diagonal of a cube and an incident edge, and therefore the polar angle of the cone circumscribed to a cube from one of its vertices.
%C Also half of the tetrahedral angle (A156546).
%C In nuclear magnetic resonance, the angle, with respect to the direction of the main magnetic field, under which a solid sample needs to be spun in order to average to zero unwanted dipole-dipole spin interactions (the magic angle spinning, or MAS, technique). (End)
