Using the complex exponential function to calculate the $sin(30^{circ})$ [closed]
$begingroup$
I need help with the calculation of the following function
$$sin(omega t)=frac{(e^{iωt}-e^{-iωt})}{2j}implies sin(30^{circ})= sinleft(frac pi 6 right) = frac{e^{frac pi 6 i}-e^{-frac pi 6i}}{2i} $$...when I plug in the values for the function in my program code it replays $0.53dots$ But it should do $0.5000000$
Is it because the approximation with two e's and the other numbers with commas divided by $2$ include an such a high error in it(the numbers are not ending) so that i would have to use a Taylor polynomial (it is the aim to use function that can be written as only + and - for schemas. Functions with a sine in it are too abstract and not allowed) for calculating the sine without precalculated values like in a cordic function.
Ps. Please do not write it as Taylor polynomial or cordic.

It may well be that your calculator is doing degrees instead of radians, or the other way around. You must define this with the MODE key on the calculator.

Note that $30^circ = 30times pi/180 = pi/6$ radians. Therefore, $sin(30^circ) = frac{e^{ipi/6}-e^{-ipi/6}}{2i}$.

$sin(30^circ) = sin frac{pi}{6}$. So in your formula, use $omega t = frac{pi}{6}$.
begin{align}
e^{jpi/6} &approx 0.8660254040+j ;0.5000000000
\
e^{-jpi/6} &approx 0.8660254040-j ;0.5000000000
\
frac{e^{jpi/6}-e^{-jpi/6}}{2j} &approx 0.5000000000
end{align}
