I am trying to find the theta part from an exponential value.
Suppose, i take a variable
z=exp(1i*5);
so this will give me
z =
0.2837 - 0.9589i
Now i want to find that "5" from this value. So, i go with this "angle(z)" and matlab shows
ans =
-1.2832
Shouldn't it be 5, according to theory ??
Or if i go with the eular formula like, exp(i*theta)= cos(theta) + i*sin(theta)
so, theta= atan(0.2837/-0.9589) = -0.2877 !!
How do i get the theta=5 back, i don't know if i am missing something.
