Math.js is an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. It features a flexible expression parser with support for symbolic computation, comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants, and offers an integrated solution to work with dif

   * Calculate the tangent of a value. `tan(x)` is equal to `sin(x) / cos(x)`.
   *
   * For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.tan(x)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    math.tan(0.5);                    // returns number 0.5463024898437905
   *    math.sin(0.5) / math.cos(0.5);    // returns number 0.5463024898437905
   *    math.tan(math.pi / 4);            // returns number 1
   *    math.tan(math.unit(45, 'deg'));   // returns number 1
