=== Notation === When doing the calculation by hand it is useful to write down the coefficients in a triangle scheme as <math display="block"> \begin{matrix} \beta_0 & = \beta_0^{(0)} & & & \\ & & \beta_0^{(1)} & & \\ \beta_1 & = \beta_1^{(0)} & & & \\ & & & \ddots & \\ \vdots & & \vdots & & \beta_0^{(n)} \\ & & & & \\ \beta_{n-1} & = \beta_{n-1}^{(0)} & & & \\ & & \beta_{n-1}^{(1)} & & \\ \beta_n & = \beta_n^{(0)} & & & \\ \end{matrix} </math> When choosing a point ''t''<sub>0</sub> to evaluate a Bernstein polynomial we can use the two diagonals of the triangle scheme to construct a division of the polynomial <math display="block">B(t) = \sum_{i=0}^n \beta_i^{(0)} b_{i,n}(t), \quad t \in [0,1]</math> into <math display="block">B_1(t) = \sum_{i=0}^n \beta_0^{(i)} b_{i,n}\left(\frac{t}{t_0}\right)\!, \quad t \in [0,t_0]</math> and <math display="block">B_2(t) = \sum_{i=0}^n \beta_i^{(n-i)} b_{i,n}\left(\frac{t-t_0}{1-t_0}\right)\!, \quad t \in [t_0,1].</math>
