Talk:Bernstein polynomial

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

how is the pointwise convergence works for this polynomial?

[edit] Merging Bezier curve & Bernstein polynomial

I want to merge Bézier curve and Bernstein polynomial. I do not care what the resulting article is called. The two article are talking about the same subject and so there is a lot of duplicated material and inconsistent notation. Any comments ?MathMartin 12:53, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong statement

bν,n(x) = n · (bν − 1,n − 1(x) − bν,n − 1(x))???

is it just me or is this equation wrong?!

Looks wrong to me:

b2,4(3) = 216
b1,3(3) = 36
b2,3(3) = -54
4 * (36 - -54) = 360

Last time I checked, 360 and 216 were different numbers.

I'm going to pull that statement from the article.
