calculus - Can one solve intinfty0fracsin(x)xdx *from its Taylor series antiderivative directly*?

This question was inspired by this question:




Evaluating the integral 0sinxx dx=π2?




Well, can anyone prove this without using Residue theory. I actually thought of doing this:
0sinxxdx=limtt01t(tt33!+t55!+)dt


but I don't see how π comes here, since we need the answer to be equal to π2.




Answers were given to the stated question -- how to prove without using Residue theory. Yet the quote suggests an obvious follow-up question: can you prove the integral from the Taylor series expansion directly, somehow?
