a) We want to develop a method for calculating the function f(x)
= sin(t)/t
dt
for small or moderately small values of x. this is a special
function called the sine integral, and it is related to another
special function called the exponential integral. it rises in
diffraction problems.
Derive a Taylor-series expression for f(x), and give an upper
bound for the error when the series is terminated after the n-th
order term. sint = see image

(b) In diffraction theory, it is sometimes necessary to evaluate the function sine f (x) = for small to moderate (positive) values of the variable x.

1. (a) We need to calculate accurate values of the function for very large values of x. However, it is found that just programming this formula into a computer gives very poor accuracy for large x Explain why this happens, and show how to re-write the function so that it can be used reliably, even when x is large.
