In this paper we introduce the theory of derivatives of moments and (moment) functionals to represent moment functionals by Gaussian mixtures, characteristic functions of polytopes, and simple functions of polytopes. We study, among other measures, Gaussian mixtures, their reconstruction from moments and especially the number of Gaussians needed to represent moment functionals. We find that there are moment functionals L:R[x_1,...,x_n]_≤ 2d→R which can be represented by a sum of n+2dn - n·n+dn + n2 Gaussians but not less. Hence, for any d∈N and ε>0 we find an n∈N such that L can be represented by a sum of (1-ε)·n+2dn Gaussians but not less. An upper bound is n+2dn-1.
