Sergei Bernstein is a prominent figure in the field of mathematics, particularly known for his contributions to analysis, probability theory, and the effective theory of differential equations. He is best known for Bernstein polynomials, which are an important tool in approximation theory. These polynomials help in approximating continuous functions on the interval [0, 1] and have applications in various areas of numerical analysis and statistical inference.
