- civilized 5y agoI could be totally wrong with this guess, but my fear is that it involves fitting high-order polynomials to some kind of scientific data. In my experience, a lot of applications of polynomials happen because physical scientists have never heard of, or are uncomfortable with, fitting data with anything but polynomials, even though splines are generally far superior for data-driven curve fitting.
