I do some math with python:
import math as m
m.degrees(m.atan(2))
63.43494882292201
but when i lookup tg in a paper table (last decade math book) i've got these
values:
tg(63'10'') = 1.9768
tg(63'20'') = 1.9912
tg(63'30'') = 2.0057
For me python should return something more like 63'2x'' than 63'4x''(becasue
63'30'' is higher than 2.0)
According to Google:
.43494882292201 degrees = 26.0969294 arcminutes
So I would say that your table and Python are in agreement. Do you
know what the notation 63'30" means?
