Details
Snapshot 1: initial matrices used for all the operations
Snapshot 2: trigonometric identity applied to the matrix
Snapshot 3: trigonometric sum to product identity applied to and
matrices with an insufficient degree of the Taylor series
Snapshot 4: Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula applied to and
matrices; as they commute, the formula is simplified
Snapshot 5: trace versus degree plot of the two trigonometric sums to product identity matrices; the two plots overlap when the degree is high enough and the identity is correct
