Abstract
- The paper describes an approximation formula for sine (x + h) that differs from the first four terms of the Taylor expansion only by having 4 in place of 6 in the denominator of the fourth term. It appears in Sanskrit stanzas quoted in a work of about the fifteenth century and given here with translation and explanation.
