You have replied to something that I have not said.

I have said that the Taylor series of arbitrary functions have various uses, but there is no benefit in knowing which are the specific Taylor expansions of the trigonometric functions, with the exception of knowing that the first term of the sine and tangent expansions when the argument is in radians is just X.

Solving physics problems using the expansion of an unknown function in the Taylor series has nothing to do with knowing which is the Taylor series of the sine function.

There are more terms in the expansion that you can use, that's the whole point of using an expansion...

I hope you're aware that the sine function appears quite often in Physics problems.
