Taylor series in haskell

haskell, math, recursion, taylor-series

Solution

That's not quite the Taylor series for sin! But here's a clue ...

products = scanl (*) 1 [1..]
powers x = map (x^) [0..]
exp' x = zipWith (/) (powers x) products

*Main> sum (take 10 (exp' 1))
2.7182815255731922

Problem

How to write Taylor series recursion data like this one: ``` fib = 0 : scanl (+) 1 fib ``` For example, I want promt something like this: ``` fac n = product[1..n] sin' x = x : x^3/fac(3) : x^5/fac(5) : ... sum $ take 10 (sin' (pi/6)) ``` And get sum of 10 first elements of sine Taylor series.
