ABSTRACT: This thesis consisting of three chapters is concerned with Bernstein polynomials. In the first chapter, an introduction to Bernstein polynomials is given. Then, basic properties of Bernstein polynomials are studied in the second chapter. Last chapter studies the generalized Bernstein polynomials and since it is known that generalized Bernstein polynomials are related to q-integers, we gave basic properties of q-integers. In this chapter, convergence properties of Bernstein polynomials are also given. In addition, we introduced some probabilistic considerations of generalized Bernstein polynomials. Keywords: Bernstein polynomials; generalized Bernstein polynomials; q-integers; Convergence. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
