He was also the brother of psychiatrist Alexander Bernstein.

Contributions in Mathematics

In 1904, Sergey Bernstein dedicated his dissertation to solving Hilbert's 19th problem. He discovered conditions for the analyticity of solutions to second-order elliptic and parabolic equations. He also developed new methods for solving boundary value problems for nonlinear elliptic equations and contributed to the creation of a new branch of function theory called constructive function theory.

During his proof of the Weierstrass approximation theorem, Bernstein constructed polynomials that proved to be useful in various areas of mathematics.

These polynomials are now Sergei Bernstein - Wikiwand WIHAT
