Degree 1 Taylor on a triangle

In this example:
\(\displaystyle l_{0}:v\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{R}v\)
where \(R\) is the reference element.

\(\displaystyle \phi_{0} = 2\)

This DOF is associated with face 0 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{1}:v\mapsto\frac{\partial}{\partial y}v(\tfrac{1}{3},\tfrac{1}{3})\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{1} = y - \frac{1}{3}\)

This DOF is associated with face 0 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{2}:v\mapsto\frac{\partial}{\partial x}v(\tfrac{1}{3},\tfrac{1}{3})\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{2} = x - \frac{1}{3}\)

This DOF is associated with face 0 of the reference element.
