hey guys,

im with a little problem when im transcripting a math formula from
maple to fortran, because when i put a solution on the equation, i got
a result diferent from zero.

The formula is: 2*arctan(sin(a)*cos(a)/(.8-cos(a)^2))-4/9*Pi ;
I've transcripted to fortran as: 2*atan((sin(a)*cos(a))/(0.8-
cos(a)**2))-((pi)*4/9)


I don't know Maple, but in Fortran 4/9 gives zero. Try 4.0/9.0.

Regards,

Mike Metcalf
