A few words
The applet depicts the values of sin(N mod 2p), for integer N, or plain sin(N) with the horizontal scale chosen accordingly. In the former case, we see that the sequence {N mod 2p} is dense on the unit circle.
What is the nature of the periodic pattern observed in the latter case?
The applet also shows a no less curious behavior of tan(N).
