Well, as stated, I do not understand what you are trying to do.
Fourier Series expansion? But your function must be periodic... Anyway,
you should have a look at the "FourierSeries`" package, it might help
clarifying what your goal is.
Non linear approximation? You need to specify an interval... Perhaps
FindFit is what you are looking for (you may have to try different
models and intervals, though). For instance,
poly = 0.00154991 - 4.01371 x + 1.81197 x^2 + 8.00183 x^3 -
9.3462 x^4;
data = Table[{x, poly}, {x, -1, 1, .1}];
model = a Sin[b + c x] + d Cos[e + f x] + g;
params = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g};
vars = x;
sol = FindFit[data, model, params, vars]
ft = model /. sol
Plot[{poly, ft}, {x, -1, 1}]
-740.092 + 1176.29 Cos[0.11808- 0.581571 x] -
436.92 Sin[1.36856+ 0.965664 x]
