When Bernstein began his Young People's Concerts in early 1958, classical culture was different in ways he changed irrevocably: the concert tradition was "high culture" filtered through Europeans like Toscanini, targeted at an educated elite, and orchestras were the province of elderly white men.
Bernstein's view of western music as made up of a continuum, an interactive tapestry between highfalutin and popular, academic and everyday, is among his greatest legacies.
There's more to Bernstein than these concerts can show: he was an eccentric, uneven conductor who pined for respect as a "legitimate" composer, in both popular and concert idioms; a classical figure who behaved like a rock star, and steered the stuffy classical world off into the tabloids.

Appellant-plaintiff Lee Bernstein (“Bernstein”) appeals the trial court’s denial of her motion for summary judgment on her claim of legal malpractice and its grant of the cross-motion for summary judgment made by appellees-defendants Daniel W. Glavin (“Glavin”) and Beckman, Kelly and Smith (“BKS”) (collectively, “appellees”).
Bernstein’s argument that we should inspect the terms of the agreement through the distorted lens of hindsight is unsupported by either logic or persuasive legal authority.
Bernstein is not entitled to recover for Glavin’s failure to obtain what she considers to be adequate compensation for rights she willfully forfeited years ago.

 Bernstein polynomial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, a Bernstein polynomial, named after Sergei Natanovich Bernstein, is a polynomial in the Bernstein form, that is a linear combination of Bernstein basis polynomials.
Polynomials in Bernstein form were first used by Bernstein in a constructive proof for the Stone-Weierstrass approximation theorem.
Bernstein polynomials thus afford one way to prove the Stone-Weierstrass approximation theorem that every real-valued continuous function on a real interval [a,b] can be uniformly approximated by polynomial functions over R.

 Bézier Curves in Bernstein Form
Bernstein polynomials: The Bernstein polynomials of degree n are defined by
Generalized Bernstein polynomials: Recall that every point p in the interior of a triangle with vertices U, V, and W can be expressed in terms of the barycentric coordinates (u,v,w) which are determined by p(u,v,w) = uU + vV + wW, subject to the constraints u+v+w=1; u,v,w > 0.
Since the generalized Bernstein polynomials are linearly independent, they form a basis for an (n+1)(n+2)/2 dimensional linear subspace of the space of polynomials of degree (n, n).

 PRESS RELEASE Leonard Bernstein's "Peter Pan" to Be Released on CD June 21, 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Bernstein, coming off the success and recognition of the Broadway hit musical "On the Town," would write one hour of music that included several new songs and revisions of a few of his other tunes from past shows.
Much to Bernstein's disappointment, it was then decided that "Peter Pan" would not be a musical after all, but would retain some of his songs and choruses.
Bernstein's compositions for 'Who Am I?', 'Pirate's Song', 'Plank Round', 'Build My House' and 'Peter Peter' were included, but songs 'Captain Hook Soliloquy' and 'Dream With Me' would be withdrawn.

In talking with the noted photographer, his art and the teachings of philosopher/critic Eli Siegel (1902-1978) constantly merge as Bernstein mixes what he feels is a guiding light with technical explorations of what make his fl and white photos seem to leap from the frames.
Before Bernstein departed to join a crowd of 500,000 in the nation’s capital, one of his photography teachers at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation gave him a few words of advice.
Bernstein was born in Brooklyn in 1950, and some of his earliest memories of childhood involve looking through boxes of photographic negatives recorded by his father with a Kodak Brownie camera.

 fn2fm (Spline Toolbox)
The B-form describes a function as a weighted sum of the B-splines of a given order k for a given knot sequence, and the BBform (or, Bernstein-Bézier form) is the special case when each knot in that sequence appears with maximal multiplicity, k.
Conversion from a polynomial form to the corresponding rational form is possible only if the function in the polynomial form is vector-valued, in which case its last component is designated as the denominator.
Converting from a rational form to the corresponding polynomial form simply reverses this process by reinterpreting the denominator of the function in the rational form as an additional component of the piecewise polynomial function.

It is well known that the range of polynomial~$f$ over an inverval is bounded by the smallest and the largest coeffcient of $f$ with respect to the Bernstein basis over the interval.
This defines an interval extension $F$ of $f$, which is called Bernstein form.

The majority of score is performed by a small jazz ensemble, and Bernstein's themes are a very lazy throwback to a time long past.
Bernstein's music only occupies 20+ minutes of time, and the style of the songs is noticeably different.
While there are two or so songs that mesh well enough with the score, the majority are far too modern for the feel of Bernstein to form a good blend.

 Bernstein, Against National Poetry Month As Such
"Bernstein is a poetic gadfly, uncompromising in his questioning of what language is, why we use it as we do, and what values are conveyed with our linguistic choices.
Bernstein will make few readers comfortable; there is something here to irritate almost everyone, beginning with Bernstein's radical vision of language and his egocentric voice.
National Poetry Month is sponsored by the Academy of American Poets, an organization that uses its mainstream status to exclude from its promotional activities much of the formally innovative and "otherstream" poetries that form the inchoate heart of the art of poetry.

Note that the sum of the subscripts i, j, and k is equal rather than less than or equal to d, and that there are as many coefficients in (3) as there are in (1).
The quadrilaterals themselves are gray, the domain points corresponding to the right hand side of (12) are red, those on the left hand side are green, and domain points not relevant to the smoothness conditions are blue.
The geometric interpretation of the algebraic conditions is therefore the same: The control points at the vertices of the gray quadrilaterals must be in the same plane for each quadrilateral!.

 Robust Geometric Calculations with Applications to Tolerancing
Alternative closed form solutions have been derived, based on a statistical solution, for both the position and orientation tolerance of the pin/hole assembly.
The new solutions are simpler than the previously published solutions and are more intuitive due to the use of vector loops to define the problem.
The resulting algorithms are much faster than current library routines, plus they are more numerically stable due to the Bernstein polynomial basis.
