We can rewrite the gradient of the sum as the sum of the gradient:
\\( = \sum_{\tau} \nabla_\theta P(\tau;\theta)R(\tau) \\)
\\( = \sum_{\tau} \nabla_\theta (P(\tau;\theta)R(\tau)) = \sum_{\tau} \nabla_\theta P(\tau;\theta)R(\tau) \\) as \\(R(\tau)\\) is not dependent on \\(\theta\\)
We then multiply every term in the sum by \\(\frac{P(\tau;\theta)}{P(\tau;\theta)}\\)(which is possible since it's = 1)
\\( = \sum_{\tau} \frac{P(\tau;\theta)}{P(\tau;\theta)}\nabla_\theta P(\tau;\theta)R(\tau) \\)
We can simplify further this since
\\( \frac{P(\tau;\theta)}{P(\tau;\theta)}\nabla_\theta P(\tau;\theta) = P(\tau;\theta)\frac{\nabla_\theta P(\tau;\theta)}{P(\tau;\theta)} \\)
We can simplify further this since \\( \frac{P(\tau;\theta)}{P(\tau;\theta)}\nabla_\theta P(\tau;\theta)\\).
Thus we can rewrite the sum as \\( = P(\tau;\theta)\frac{\nabla_\theta P(\tau;\theta)}{P(\tau;\theta)} \\)
\\( P(\tau;\theta)\frac{\nabla_\theta P(\tau;\theta)}{P(\tau;\theta)}= \sum_{\tau} P(\tau;\theta) \frac{\nabla_\theta P(\tau;\theta)}{P(\tau;\theta)}R(\tau) \\)

We can interpret this update as follows:
- \\(\nabla_\theta log \pi_\theta(a_t|s_t)\\) is the direction of **steepest increase of the (log) probability** of selecting action at from state st.
This tells us **how we should change the weights of policy** if we want to increase/decrease the log probability of selecting action \\(a_t\\) at state \\(s_t\\).
