Question:Don't Understand The Result Of A "solve" Command

I am trying to see the closed form solution to the following equation where the know constants are phi1, a, and b:

Z := phi__1 = arctan(a*sin(alpha__1)/(a*cos(alpha__1) - b))

I am attempting to use the "solve" command as follows:

(solve(Z, alpha__1, useassumptions) assuming (0 < a and 0 < b))

 and I definitely do not understand what Maple is producing.

Thank you.
