Continued fraction for the inverse tangent
For the inverse tangent, you can develop continued fractions.
Explanation
The power series for the inverse tangent reads
This series converges for |z| < 1 and can be written as the sum of products
Using Euler's formula for continued fractions you then find
and you can convert it to
Using Gauß's formula for continued fractions you will of course find the same result
