congratulations for a great book, quick clarification if possible.
in section 11.2.2, in point 11.21b,
we are calculating the derivative of the normal distribution in relation to the mean,
this is equal to the transpose of (x_n - mean_k) times the inverse of the covariance matrix_k,
what confuses me is why is all of that then multiplied again by the same normal distribution?
shoudnt the derivative be simply the above without further multiplying it again by the same normal distribution?
thank you for any clarification
