    Previously mentioned Hastings 1955 #approximation and remembered I have #sollya files for some. This is the first few atan approximations.

    I'm sharing because it's an example of using a "seed" approximation to refine the coefficients using sollya. In these cases sollya would fail to converge without the seed. Other examples are using some other tool (say multiprecision or CAS) to get a first pass.
