Example

sin 3x = 3 sin x - 4 sin^3 x, sin 4x / cos x = 4 sin x - 8 sin^3 x, etc.

Mathematica

t[n_] := (Sin[n x]/If[EvenQ[n], Cos[x], 1] // TrigExpand) /. Cos[x]^m_ /; EvenQ[m] -> (1 - Sin[x]^2)^(m/2) // Expand; Flatten[Table[ Partition[ CoefficientList[t[n], Sin[x]] , 2][[All, 2]], {n, 1, 15}]][[1 ;; 59]]  (* Jean-François Alcover, May 06 2011 *)
