We define the sequence of polynomials $\left(P_n\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ by: $$\left\{\begin{array}{l} P_0 = 1 \\ \forall n \in \mathbb{N}^*, \quad P_n = [X(X-1)]^n \end{array}\right.$$
We denote by $P_n^{(n)}$ the polynomial derived $n$ times of $P_n$.
Determine the degree of $P_n^{(n)}$ and calculate $P_n^{(n)}(1)$.
