A taylor series is a tool in mathematics to define a function in terms of an infinite power series.
The sine function returns the sine of a number provided in radians. In geometric terms, the function returns the vertical component of the point formed by the angle on the unit circle.
This example shows how to calculate the power series definition of the sine function using a Taylor Series Expansion.
