Does anyone know why I get different answers for atan2 when
calculating in Mata and Stata? Here is an example from Stata/SE 12.1
for Mac

. disp atan2(sqrt(.0113631735),sqrt(1-.0113631735))
.10680111

. mata
------------------------------------------------- mata (type end to
exit) -----------------------------------------------------------
: atan2(sqrt(.0113631735),sqrt(1-.0113631735))
  1.463995218

: end
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel like I must be missing something very simple but I can't figure
out what it is.
