This is such a serious burn I had to go to the L’Hospital

Thanks for the Calc 2 horror flashbacks, now in fetal position.

What you need here is
De Casteljau’s algorithm
Those are even more French, and involve Bernstein polynomials.

Oh it’s not that bad.
Now multivariate calculus for computer science? That’s horrific.

There’s also a connection to Renault *AND* Citroen there as well.

Calc III and I, were easy and enjoyable for me. Our school makes calc 2 miserable and the weed out class. I’ve helped friends in different schools taking calc 2, their home works and exams are a joke compared to ours.

In my case, that was linear algebra. RamblinRover also went to university with me, and his weedout class was Calc 1.

Each term simplifies to:
(Left -> Right, Top -> Bottom order)
0.0029035821x^5
-0.1299565528x^3
x
1
0.0367101138x^2
0.0006886010743x^4
0.000007261928768x^6
The scary part is that it’s not even an equal sign, it’s a “close to” sign

I have to assume that any “close to” involving terms precise to >5 decimal places really is close enough most of the time. I have to.

I don’t want to look at that.

Good lord, I don’t understand mathematicians making shit so damn complicated for what essentially is an number that represents the ratio of the length of one side of a triangle over the other side. If my first math teacher would have told me this things would have been so much easier.
