Introduction
Oneliners are powerful and often beautiful solutions to programming challenges (see Acklamization).
Theory
Let the polynomial be described in ascending order, thus is written as a list
[2, 3, 5, 1]. The derivative is equals a list
[3, 10, 3]
poly = [2, 3, 5, 1] # Degrees starting from zero
print( [(i+1)*j for i,j in enumerate( poly[1:] )] )
