Madhava's sine table is an ancient mathematical table created by the Indian mathematician Madhava of Sangamagrama, who lived during the late 14th and early 15th centuries. It is known for being one of the first systematic tabulations of sine values for various angles. Madhava's methodology involved calculating the sine of angles as a series expansion, similar to what we now understand as Taylor or Maclaurin series.
