Polynomial Curve
A curve obtained by fitting Polynomials to each ordinate of an ordered sequence of points. The aboveplots show Polynomial curves where the order of the fitting Polynomial varies from 
to 
, where 
isthe number of points.
Polynomial curves have several undesirable features, including a nonintuitive variation of fitting curve with varyingCoefficients, and numerical instability for high orders. Splines such as theBézier Curve are therefore used more commonly.
