On polynomials of degree at most n, the derivative-evaluation functionals ej​(ϕ)=ϕ(j)(0) are dual to pj​=xj/j!, since ei​(pj​)=δij​. Differentiation maps pj​ to pj−1​, with p0​ mapped to zero. Its matrix is a single nilpotent Jordan block with ones above the diagonal, and its dual has the transpose matrix.
