Using sin(x) to test the tolerance level is probably inadequate. We should be testing how much a new term improved the solution compared to the previous one. If we calculate sin(x) there is no need to use the Taylor series.

Ricardo on 3 Feb 2023 at 21:42

You are right. I made a solution with the remainder of Lagrange for error estimation. I avoided the sin(x) usage for comparing approximation and real values.
