Weierstrass Approximation Theorem
#

Bernstein’s Proof 1912
#

Binomial Distribution 二项分布
#

Interpretation
#

Bernstein Polynomial 伯恩斯坦多项式
#

$$B_n(x) = \sum_{i=0}^n f\left(\frac{i}{n}\right) \binom{n}{i} x^i (1-x)^{n-i}$$

Similarity to Convolution
#

$$(f * g)(x) = \sum_{k} f(k) g(x-k)$$

Expectation
#

$$B_n(x) = \mathbb{E}\left[f\left(\frac{X}{n}\right)\right]$$
