which are now called Bernstein polynomials, in order to present a short proof of the Weierstrass Approximation Theorem. The subsequent history is well documented, see, e.g., [29] for the period up to 1955, the monograph [18] published in 1953, and the survey article [9] which appeared on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the above paper by Bernstein.

Nowadays, there are several scien...
