Let ϕ0​,…,ϕn​ be orthonormal polynomials for a positive weight, and let xi​,wi​ define its (n+1)-point Gaussian quadrature. Put Aij​=ϕj−1​(xi−1​) and W=diag(w0​,…,wn​). Exactness through polynomial degree 2n+1 gives ATWA=I. Positivity of the quadrature weights makes W1/2A a square orthogonal matrix, so AAT=W−1 also. Thus the unweighted row inner products of the evaluation matrix are δij​/wi−1​.
