Extract

In order to state our primary results, we must first establish some notation. Let S-1 (x) = sin x and C-1 (x) = cos x, then for each non-negative integer n, let

these are the remainders of the Maclaurin series for sine and cosine, respectively. Note that for each and for each . It is known that

See [1] for several different proofs of the well-known fact that

the values of αn and βn for then follow rather easily using induction and integration by parts. (Details are provided in the Appendix.)
