    tf.raw_ops.Atan(
        x, name=None
    )

The [`tf.math.atan`](https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r2.13/api_docs/python/tf/math/atan) operation returns the inverse of [`tf.math.tan`](https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r2.13/api_docs/python/tf/math/tan), such that
if `y = tf.math.tan(x)` then, `x = tf.math.atan(y)`.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The output of [`tf.math.atan`](https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r2.13/api_docs/python/tf/math/atan) will lie within the invertible range of tan, i.e (-pi/2, pi/2).

#### For example:

    # Note: [1.047, 0.785] ~= [(pi/3), (pi/4)]
    x = tf.constant([1.047, 0.785])
    y = tf.math.tan(x) # [1.731261, 0.99920404]

    tf.math.atan(y) # [1.047, 0.785] = x
