number &#124; BigNumber &#124; Complex &#124; Array &#124; Matrix | Sine of x
## Examples
```js
math.sin(2); // returns number 0.9092974268256813
math.sin(math.pi / 4); // returns number 0.7071067811865475
math.sin(math.unit(90, 'deg')); // returns number 1
math.sin(math.unit(30, 'deg')); // returns number 0.5
var angle = 0.2;
math.pow(math.sin(angle), 2) + math.pow(math.cos(angle), 2); // returns number ~1
