The domain of tan(theta) cannot include angles (pi/2) + n x theta because these values make the cos(theta) 0 thus tan(theta) undefined.

tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ) and since dividing by zero is undefined, we cannot have cos(θ) = 0. Since cos(θ) = 0 at π/2 and 3π/2, those angles are not in the domain of f(θ) = tan(θ).
