Theorem: Power Series Expansion for Exponential of Sine of x

:$e^{\sin x} = 1 + x + \dfrac {x^2} 2 - \dfrac {x^4} 8 - \dfrac {x^5} {15} + \cdots$
for all $x \in \R$.

Proof:
Let $\map f x = e^{\sin x}$.
Then:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | l = \frac \d {\d x} \map f x
      | r = \cos x \, e^{\sin x}
      | c = Chain Rule for Derivatives

      | r = \cos x \frac \d {\d x} e^{\sin x} + e^{\sin x} \frac \d {\d x} \cos x
      | c = Product Rule for Derivatives

      | c = Product Rule for Derivatives
}}
{{eqn | r = \paren {\cos^2 x - \sin x} \cos x \, e^{\sin x} + e^{\sin x} \paren {-2 \cos x \sin x - \cos x}
      | c =

By definition of Taylor series:
:$\ds \map f x \sim \sum_{n \mathop = 0}^\infty \frac {\paren {x - \xi}^n} {n!} \map {f^{\paren n} } \xi$
and so expanding about $\xi = 0$:
{{begin-eqn}}
{{eqn | l = e^{\sin x}
      | r = \frac {x^0} {0!} e^{\sin 0} + \frac {x^1} {1!} \cos 0 \, e^{\sin 0} + \frac {x^2} {2!} \paren {\cos^2 0 - \sin 0} e^{\sin 0}
      | c = 
}}
{{eqn | o = 
      | ro= +
      | r = \frac {x^3} {3!} \paren {\cos^3 0 - 3 \sin 0 \cos 0 - \cos 0} e^{\sin 0} + \frac {x^4} {4!} \paren {\cos^4 0 - 6 \cos^2 0 \sin 0 - 4 \cos^2 0 + 3 \sin^2 0 + \sin 0} e^{\sin 0}
      | c = 
}}
{{eqn | o = 
      | ro= +
      | r = \frac {x^5} {5!} \paren {\cos^5 0 - 10 \cos^3 0 \sin 0 - 10 \cos^3 0 + 15 \cos 0 \sin^2 0 + 15 \cos 0 \sin 0 + \cos 0} e^{\sin 0} + \cdots
      | c = 
}}
{{eqn | r = 1 + x + \frac {x^2} 2 + \frac {x^3} 6 \paren {1 - 0 - 1} + \frac {x^4} {24} \paren {1 - 0 - 4} + \frac {x^5} {120} \paren {1 - 0 - 10 + 1} + \cdots
      | c = Sine of Zero is Zero, Exponential of Zero, Cosine of Zero is One
}}
{{eqn | r = 1 + x + \frac {x^2} 2 - \frac {x^4} 8 - \frac {x^5} {15} + \cdots
      | c = 
}}
{{end-eqn}}
No pattern is immediately apparent.
