Reason: First publication. Establishes the basic calculus of the sine and cosine series: uniform convergence on every $[-R,R]$ with an explicit tail bound, continuity on the real line, the values at the origin, parity, and the derivatives $\sin'=\cos$ and $\cos'=-\sin$. · 2,704 chars · 10 deps · depth 14

The defining series for cosine and sine converge uniformly on every interval [R,R][-R,R], with an explicit tail bound; both functions are continuous on the real line, satisfy cos0=1\cos 0=1 and sin0=0\sin 0=0, are respectively even and odd, and are differentiable everywhere with derivatives cos\cos and sin-\sin.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background, let cos\cos and sin\sin be the cosine and sine functions from R\mathbb{R} to R\mathbb{R}, and for kNk\in\mathbb{N} let ck,σk:RRc_{k},\sigma_{k}:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} be the terms of the two series occurring there,

ck(x)=(1)kx2k(2k)!,σk(x)=(1)kx2k+1(2k+1)!(xR),c_{k}(x)=\frac{(-1)^{k}x^{2k}}{(2k)!}, \qquad \sigma_{k}(x)=\frac{(-1)^{k}x^{2k+1}}{(2k+1)!} \qquad(x\in\mathbb{R}),

the exponents being the natural numbers abbreviated in Iterated Powers, Factorials, and Convergence of the Series of Powers over Factorials §powers. Continuity of a function from R\mathbb{R} to R\mathbb{R}, at a point or on R\mathbb{R}, means continuity relative to R\mathbb{R} formed with the metric dRd_{\mathbb{R}} of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background §numbers; and differentiability at a point, with a given derivative, is that notion on the interval R\mathbb{R}, every point of which is an interior point of it by Basic Facts about Intervals of the Real Line and Their Interior Points §whole-line.

Then the following hold.

1. (Uniform convergence on a bounded interval, with a tail bound) Let RR be a positive real number and let [R,R][-R,R] be the closed interval determined by R-R and RR. Then k=1ck\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}c_{k} converges uniformly on [R,R][-R,R] to the function xcosx1x\mapsto\cos x-1, and k=1σk\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\sigma_{k} converges uniformly on [R,R][-R,R] to the function xsinxxx\mapsto\sin x-x. Moreover, for every mNm\in\mathbb{N} and every x[R,R]x\in[-R,R],

cosx1k=1mck(x)k=1R2k(2k)!k=1mR2k(2k)!,\Bigl|\cos x-1-\sum_{k=1}^{m}c_{k}(x)\Bigr|\le\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{R^{2k}}{(2k)!}-\sum_{k=1}^{m}\frac{R^{2k}}{(2k)!}, sinxxk=1mσk(x)k=1R2k+1(2k+1)!k=1mR2k+1(2k+1)!,\Bigl|\sin x-x-\sum_{k=1}^{m}\sigma_{k}(x)\Bigr|\le\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{R^{2k+1}}{(2k+1)!}-\sum_{k=1}^{m}\frac{R^{2k+1}}{(2k+1)!},

the two infinite series converging by Iterated Powers, Factorials, and Convergence of the Series of Powers over Factorials §trigonometric.

2. (Continuity) The functions cos\cos and sin\sin are continuous on R\mathbb{R}.

3. (Values at the origin) cos0=1\cos 0=1 and sin0=0\sin 0=0.

4. (Parity) For every xRx\in\mathbb{R} one has cos(x)=cosx\cos(-x)=\cos x and sin(x)=sinx\sin(-x)=-\sin x.

5. (Derivatives) For every xRx\in\mathbb{R} the function sin\sin is differentiable at xx with derivative cosx\cos x, and the function cos\cos is differentiable at xx with derivative sinx-\sin x.
