On the paper I'm reading the arctan of 35 over 65 is approx. 28.30degrees. When I use the Google calculator "arctan(35/65)" gives me 0.493941369 rad. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to find the field lines of the 3D vector function F(x, y, z) = yi − xj +k. I began by finding dx/dt =y, dy/dt = -x, dz/dt = 1. From here I computed dy/dx = -x/y, and hence y^2 + x^2 = c. For dz/dt = 1, I found that z = t + C, where C is a constant. I am unsure where to go from...

My question regards finding the field lines of the 3D vector function F(x,y,z) = yzi + zxj + xyk. I was able to compute them to be at the curves x^2 - y^2 = C and x^2 -z^2 = D, where C and D are constants. From my understanding the field lines will occur at the intersection of these two...

So, it is known and easy to prove that if you have f : D -> G and g : G -> B then -if both f and g have the same monotony => fοg is increasing -if f and g have different monotony => fοg is decreasing But the reciprocal of this is not always true (easy to prove with a contradicting example)...
