Reading this is like listening the same piece of music sung by two different singers. Except this is written down. Heurekas math is always like art too. It is like looking at the sheet music.

I not know how to read music but I can read this and maybe understand it if I study it long enough.

Since arctangent of 1/10 (in radians)=.09966865249........etc.  (1)

Then 8 x the above answer gives =.797349219929.....etc.        (2)

Then since 1/4 of Pi=Pi/4=.785398163......etc.                         (3)

Then subtract (2) from (3) above

Then=.0119510565......etc. And this is the arcrangent.             (4)

Then we find the tangent of (4) above

Which is:0.01195162554520335317930497716049....etc.

Which is a rational fraction of: 1,758,719/147,153,121, Which is your answer!!!!!!.
