The paper establishes an identity that expresses \(\frac {\sin(x)} x\) as an infinite series of \((\pi^2 -4x^2)\). The partial sums of the series are then used to estimate \(\frac {\sin(x)} x\), which generalize the left hand side of Jordan's inequality \[ \frac 2 \pi \leq \frac {\sin(x)} x < 1, \qquad x \in (0, \pi / 2]. \] The estimates are stated stronger than existing results. The paper also uses the Taylor expansion of \(\frac x {\sin(x)}\) to generalize the right hand side of Jordan's inequality. The reciprocal of a partial sum of this series is used as an estimate on the right hand side.
