Properties
Proposition: $$\dfrac{d}{dz} \mathrm{arctan}(z) = \dfrac{1}{z^2+1}$$
Proof: If $y=\mathrm{arctan}(z)$ then $\tan y = z$. Now use implicit differentiation with respect to $z$ yields $$\sec^2(y)y'=1.$$ Substituting back in $y=\mathrm{arccos(z)}$ yields the formula $$\dfrac{d}{dz} \mathrm{arccos(z)} = \dfrac{1}{\sec^2(\mathrm{arctan(z)})} = \dfrac{1}{z^2+1}. █$$
Proposition: $$\int \mathrm{arctan}(z) = z\mathrm{arctan}(z) - \dfrac{1}{2}\log(1+z^2)+C$$
Proof: █
Proposition: $$\mathrm{arctan}(z) = \mathrm{arccot}\left( \dfrac{1}{z} \right)$$
Proof: █
