If i recall correctly that was asked time ago! Given an analytic function
f:R->R you can get an approximation of the coefficients of the maclaurin

This will not work for singular functions. For instance, it ll return Nans if
your function is f(x) = 1/(1-x) and garbage if there is a singularity. An
example is
I think this algorithm must have limited convergence radius. Your
example works to around 1:
p = maclaurin (@(x) exp(sin (x)), 10);
x=0:0.01:2;plot (x, exp(sin(x)),x,pv = polyval (p, x))
a plain sin(x) seems to be valid to at least two or so:
p = maclaurin (@(x) (sin (x)), 10);
x=0:0.01:4;plot (x, (sin(x)),x,pv = polyval (p, x))
