Hello,
I have two vectors in 3d and i want to find the angle between those two vectors.
Thanks in advance

Or:
angle = atan2(norm(cross(a,b)), dot(a,b))
See this compact discussion about this topic: CSSM: Angle between two vectors . Only 71 replies (Google finds 89 replies, so I assume 18 spam messages?) and 68300 views currently...
[EDITED]: W. Kahan suggested in his paper "Mindeless.pdf":
2 * atan(norm(x*norm(y) - norm(x)*y) / norm(x * norm(y) + norm(x) * y))

@Jan the CSSM thread you linked does not exist anymore.
Do you happen to have an archived link for that thread?
I am unable to find the thread by simply searching the title, on the Google Groups (CSSM archive)

You can use the subspace function to find the angle between two subspaces:
>> subspace([1;0;0],[0;1;0])
ans =

I have 3 points in a line( suppose) and one calculations point separately. A(1,1,1)B(2,2,2)C(3 3 3) in a line and P( 5 5 5) as separate. I want to calculate angle A which is subtended by distance AP. And similar for BP,CP. Is it possible to find angles or make program to calculate these angles at once?

acos(dot(v1, v2) / (norm(v1) * norm(v2)))
EDIT: Having seen Jan Simon's reply, and the long thread at CSSM that he refers to, I realise that the formula I proposed is not a particularly good one. The two methods in Jan's reply are both likely to be preferable.

Thanks actually i have seen the post referred by Jan simon
and confused that what is the difference between
angle = atan2(norm(cross(a,b)), dot(a,b))
and
acos(dot(v1, v2) / (norm(v1) * norm(v2)))

Mathematically identical, but numerically more stable, when the vectors have very different lengths:
acos(dot(v1 / norm(v1), v2 / norm(v2)))
