More bases of polynomial spaces | Wild Linear Algebra A 21 | NJ Wildberger
Polynomial spaces are excellent examples of linear spaces. For example, the space of polynomials of degree three or less forms a linear or vector space which we call P^3. In this lecture we look at some more interesting bases of this space: the Lagrange, Chebyshev, Bernstein and Spread polynomial basis. The last comes from Rational Trigonometry.
This is one of a series on Linear Algebra given by N J Wildberger of UNSW.
