Well, first that sounds somehow like a homework assignment, so only some
hints:

a) work out the underlying math. Consider all special edge cases.
b) I'm not completely sure what you need, but a feeling in the stomach
tells me that you might need the atan function, it's provided in Python
in the math module.
