Theorem

\(\ds \map {\operatorname C} x\) \(=\) \(\ds \sqrt {\frac 2 \pi} \sum_{n \mathop = 0}^\infty \paren {-1}^n \frac {x^{4 n + 1} } {\paren {4 n + 1} \paren {2 n}!}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \sqrt {\frac 2 \pi} \paren {\dfrac x {1!} - \dfrac {x^5} {5 \cdot 2!} + \dfrac {x^9} {9 \cdot 4!} - \dfrac {x^{13} } {13 \cdot 6!} + \cdots}\)

where $\operatorname C$ denotes the Fresnel cosine integral function.
