Real part in complex plane

• ${\displaystyle \operatorname {Re} \left({\frac {\tan \left(x+iy\right)}{x+iy}}\right)}$

absolute magnitude

• ${\displaystyle \left|{\frac {\tan(x+iy)}{x+iy}}\right|}$

First-order derivative

• ${\displaystyle {\frac {1-(\tan(z))^{2}}{z}}-{\frac {\tan(z)}{z^{2}}}}$

Real part of derivative

• ${\displaystyle -\operatorname {Re} \left(-{\frac {1-(\tan(x+iy))^{2}}{x+iy}}+{\frac {\tan(x+iy)}{(x+iy)^{2}}}\right)}$

Imaginary part of derivative

• ${\displaystyle -\operatorname {Im} \left(-{\frac {1-(\tan(x+iy))^{2}}{x+iy}}+{\frac {\tan(x+iy)}{(x+iy)^{2}}}\right)}$

absolute value of derivative

• ${\displaystyle \left|-{\frac {1-(\tan(x+iy))^{2}}{x+iy}}+{\frac {\tan(x+iy)}{(x+iy)^{2}}}\right|}$

In terms of other special functions

• ${\displaystyle \operatorname {Tanc} (z)={\frac {2\,i{{\rm {KummerM}}\left(1,\,2,\,2\,iz\right)}}{\left(2\,z+\pi \right){{\rm {KummerM}}\left(1,\,2,\,i\left(2\,z+\pi \right)\right)}}}}$ 

• ${\displaystyle \operatorname {Tanc} (z)={\frac {2i\operatorname {HeunB} \left(2,0,0,0,{\sqrt {2}}{\sqrt {iz}}\right)}{(2z+\pi )\operatorname {HeunB} \left(2,0,0,0,{\sqrt {2}}{\sqrt {(i/2)(2z+\pi )}}\right)}}}$ 

• ${\displaystyle \operatorname {Tanc} (z)={\frac {{\rm {WhittakerM}}(0,\,1/2,\,2\,iz)}{{\rm {WhittakerM}}(0,\,1/2,\,i(2z+\pi ))z}}}$ 

Series expansion

${\displaystyle \operatorname {Tanc} z\approx \left(1+{\frac {1}{3}}z^{2}+{\frac {2}{15}}z^{4}+{\frac {17}{315}}z^{6}+{\frac {62}{2835}}z^{8}+{\frac {1382}{155925}}z^{10}+{\frac {21844}{6081075}}z^{12}+{\frac {929569}{638512875}}z^{14}+O(z^{16})\right)}$ 

${\displaystyle \int _{0}^{z}{\frac {\tan(x)}{x}}\,dx=\left(z+{\frac {1}{9}}z^{3}+{\frac {2}{75}}z^{5}+{\frac {17}{2205}}z^{7}+{\frac {62}{25515}}z^{9}+{\frac {1382}{1715175}}z^{11}+{\frac {21844}{79053975}}z^{13}+{\frac {929569}{9577693125}}z^{15}+O(z^{17})\right)}$ 

Pade approximation

${\displaystyle {\it {Tainc}}\left(z\right)=\left(1-{\frac {7}{51}}\,{z}^{2}+{\frac {1}{255}}\,{z}^{4}-{\frac {2}{69615}}\,{z}^{6}+{\frac {1}{34459425}}\,{z}^{8}\right)\left(1-{\frac {8}{17}}\,{z}^{2}+{\frac {7}{255}}\,{z}^{4}-{\frac {4}{9945}}\,{z}^{6}+{\frac {1}{765765}}\,{z}^{8}\right)^{-1}}$
