What is the minimal degree Taylor polynomial about x 0 that
     What is the minimal degree Taylor polynomial about x = 0| that you need to calculate sin(1)| to 3 decimal places?  To 6 decimal places? 
  
  Solution
The Taylor polynomial about x = 0 for
sin x=
 x - x^3/3! + x^5/5! - x^7/7! + ...
 
 I assume you mean 1 radian.
 sin 1 = approx. 0.84147 or 0.841 to the nearest 3 decimal places
