Description

There is the following issue on this page: https://docs.pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/examples_autograd/polynomial_autograd.html

The paratext and previous/subsequent excercises imply this should learn sin(x), but the y= is generated as torch.exp(x), with the exponential's Taylor expantion.

Research direction

Open the linked polynomial_autograd.html tutorial and compare its explanatory text with the y= data-generation line and the preceding and subsequent exercises. Confirm which function the example is intended to learn, then make the page’s example and explanation consistent. Done means the tutorial no longer contradicts its stated learning objective.
