Away from the yy-axis, dθ=d(arctan⁡(y/x))d\theta = d\big(\arctan(y/x)\big). Why does this not show that dθd\theta is exact on R2∖{0}\mathbb{R}^2 \setminus \{0\}?

A 1-form on R3\mathbb{R}^3 is a triple (a1,a2,a3)(a_1, a_2, a_3) meaning a1 dx+a2 dy+a3 dza_1\,dx + a_2\,dy + a_3\,dz, and a 2-form is a triple (c1,c2,c3)(c_1, c_2, c_3) meaning c1 dy∧dz+c2 dz∧dx+c3 dx∧dyc_1\,dy\wedge dz + c_2\,dz \wedge dx + c_3\,dx \wedge dy. Write wedge(a, b) returning the 2-form a∧ba \wedge b as such a triple. What familiar operation do you get?
