Bernstein Polynomials

Bernstein polynomials play an important role in computer graphics. For instance, they are used as a basis for Bézier curves. The envelope of the Bernstein polynomial of degree n is given by (Subscript[f, n])(x)=(1/(Sqrt[2π x (1-x)])). This Demonstration shows Bernstein polynomials and their envelopes.
