    The document discusses the Taylor series for sin(x). The Taylor series represents sin(x) as the sum of terms involving x to increasingly higher powers. The Taylor polynomials of degree 1, 3, 13, and 15 are plotted along with sin(x) to show how the polynomials converge to sin(x) as the degree increases. Matlab code is provided to generate the graph.

    The Taylor polynomial of degree 1 for sin x is P1 (x) = x. The Taylor
    polynomial of degree 3 is

    and so forth. Notice that P2 (x) = P1 (x) and P4 (x) = P3 (x).
    The graph below shows sin x and the Taylor polynomials P1 (x), P3 (x),
    P13 (x), and P15 (x).
