Transcendental functions can be approximated by the potency series with arbitrary precision. At an alternate (alternating) series is the small break after the nth term of the error as the following term for (n+1). At trigonometric functions of the angle x is used in rad (x * pi / 180). Power series expansion of functions
First set x to x * pi/180 (= RAD(x)). |
