That''s too slow to compute, and far from 0 are quite unacurate if you don`t take enough terms. Instead of using Taylor expansions, i would use the standard C funtions sin(...) and cos(...).



Qué descansada vida
la del que huye del mundanal ruido
y sigue la escondida
senda por donde han ido
los pocos sabios que en el mundo han sido.

that''s not what this guy''s asking for (DA!) but that''s a neat formula. i like that one

"cos(x) = x^0/0! - x^2/2! + x^4/4! - x^6/6! + x^8/8! - ....."

um, doesn''t that first term place the convergence center at positive infinity?

That''s funny because I''m 15. I have my first year of high school next year.

yeah, after posting that i remembered there being something about 0! being 1 in order to make certain types of equations work, but wasn''t sure so i didnt erase the post..
