/-- The Bernstein approximations
```
∑ k : Fin (n+1), f (k/n : ℝ) * n.choose k * x^k * (1-x)^(n-k)
```
for a continuous function `f : C([0,1], ℝ)` converge uniformly to `f` as `n` tends to infinity.

This is the proof given in [Richard Beals' *Analysis, an introduction*][beals-analysis], §7D,
and reproduced on wikipedia.
