Hi,
atan2(Y,X) returns the four-quadrant inverse tangent (tan-1) of Y and X, which must be real. In the given code, Sgamma is a vector of complex quantities. So it generates an error that "Inputs must be real".

In your code, you have written these lines:
Sgamma = (r3/r4).*sin(th3+phi);
gamma = atan2(Sgamma, Cgamma);
where Sgamma comes out to be a complex quantity. (You may try printing the value of Sgamma in command window)
However, 'atan2' function only takes real input arguments. So, it gnerated the error that "Inputs must be real"
