mathematics - Display a number using a scientific calculator with most keys are stuck


Your have a scientific calculator such that most of the keys are unable to be pressed. The only keys that work are those for the functions x2xx!explnsincostancotseccscarcsinarccosarctan


When a key is pressed it is applied to whatever appears on the screen and the screen changes to the result. The calculator currently displays at 0. How can we turn the display to read 2015?


My try was that press cos, we will get 1. Then press arctan, we will get π/4. Press sin, we will get 2/2. Press x2, we will get 1/2. Press arcsin then csc, we will get 2. We can keep using the x2,x! and exp to get a larger number, but I don't know it is possible to get 2015? I know 2015=51331. Can someone help me?
