%N Decimal expansion of sine of 1 degree.
%C An algebraic number of degree 48. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Apr 14 2014
%C This algebraic number has denominator 2, the least integer k > 0 such that k times the number is an algebraic integer. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Nov 12 2014
%C The Fifteenth Century Persian mathematician Jamshid Al-Kashi was the first to calculate the value of sine of one degree correct to ten sexagesimal places (17 decimal digits) in his Risala al-Watar wa'l Jaib. - _Mohammad K. Azarian_, Jan 14 2017
