Factor the sine expansion as sinz=z[1−z2/6+z4/120+O(z6)]. To invert the bracket, put 1+Az2+Bz4+O(z6) and equate coefficients after multiplication. The z2 coefficient gives A=1/6, while the z4 coefficient gives B=A/6−1/120=7/360. Dividing by z proves the displayed Laurent series truncation for z→0, z=0. This reciprocal-series calculation is useful when a small sine argument is itself an inverse power of a large variable; multiply the remainder by any outside prefactor when assigning its final order.
