 I can't seem to figure out how to use arctan on a complex number in Maple.  I expect arctan(a+jb) assuming a and b are real to return atan(b/a).  Instead, returns arctan(a+Ib).  How do I do this?

vab*omega^2*C1^2*R1/(C1^2*R1^2*omega^2+1)+I*vab*omega*C1/(C1^2*R1^2*omega^2+1)

Pabmag := `assuming`([abs(Pab)], [assum])

(vab^2*omega^4*C1^4*R1^2/(C1^2*R1^2*omega^2+1)^2+vab^2*omega^2*C1^2/(C1^2*R1^2*omega^2+1)^2)^(1/2)

Pabang := `assuming`([arctan(Pab)], [assum])

arctan(vab*omega^2*C1^2*R1/(C1^2*R1^2*omega^2+1)+I*vab*omega*C1/(C1^2*R1^2*omega^2+1))
