Sine and Cosine: Expansions
Series:
sin(x) =
(-1)k x2k+1 / (2k+1)!
= x - (1/3!)x3 + (1/5!)x5 - (1/7!)x7
(This can be derived from Taylor's Theorem.)
cos(x) =
(-1)k x2k / (2k)!
= 1 - (1/2!)x2 + (1/4!)x4 - (1/6!)x6
(This can be derived from Taylor's Theorem.)
Product:
sin(x) =
x
(1 - (x / kPI)2)
= x(1 - (x/PI)2)(1 - (x/2PI)2)(1 - (x/3PI)2)*...
