Why wouldn't you want to use known matlab commands. And for that matter, what are unknown matlab commands then?

Let P be the usual Matlab row vector of coefficients of a polynomial. Then, (as we all learned in calculus,) the corresponding vector of coefficients of the polynomial's derivative, dP, is:
n = length(P);
dP = (n-1:-1:1).*P(1:n-1);

Multiply each location in the coefficient vector by the degree it corresponds to, and get rid of the location corresponding to degree 0. You can probably build the degree list using the ":" operator.
