Yes, the exponential forms don't e-mail very well. E[...] is intended to be E^[...] or, equivalently, Exp[...]. I thought the differentiation in the other part of this example was strange. The user wanted to differentiate with respect to b, but the dot-product notation suggests that b is a vector, and then differentiation makes no sense. The answers obtained appear to assume that b is a number after all. But then the notation is peculiar to say the least. Jim_Wendel at ub.cc.umich.edu
