Calculate heading angle and Azimuth

I have data that records the 2D movement of an animal over time(head coordinates, tail coordinates and centroid). I want to calculate the heading angle, the azimuth of the animal. Can I calculate heading by heading=atan((head(1,2)-centroid(1,2))/((head(1,1)-centroid(1,1)))); and then converting into angle by using heading=heading*(180/pi). And for azimuth can it be calculated by compassHeading = mod(90-heading,360?
