I was thinking, as x increases positively or negatively, the y values (angles) repeat multiple times, making the function many-to-one.

So your plot seems wrong, but it's what is on the Internet. AG * *That's wrong. Arctan(1) = pi/4, which is what the plot indicates. But I still think the plot keeps repeating as x increases or decreases.

AG* *I conjectured that Inflation caused the unobservable universe to come into existence, an original thought you ignore, but your inclination is to be petty. Too many physicists are revealed to be a'holes and I see no cure for that. AG* *I admit it's puzzling. Whereas tangent 0 degrees = tangent 360 degrees = 0, and arctan 0 degrees = 0, I thought arctan 360 degrees is also 0, but it apparently isn't. This is how I concluded y = arctan(x) is many-to-one.
