Summary

Description
English: This graph shows a series of points (generated by a Sin function) approximated by polinomial curves (red curve is linear, green is quadratic, orange is cubic and blue is 4th degree).
Italiano: Il grafo mostra una serie di punti (generati dalla funzione seno) approssimati da curve polinomiali (in rosso di primo grado, verde di secondo, arancione di terzo e verde di quarto.
