1. The space rate of decrease of a function. The gradient of a function in three space dimensions is the vector normal to surfaces of constant value of the function and directed toward decreasing values, with magnitude equal to the rate of decrease of the function in this direction. The gradient of a function f is denoted by - f (without the minus sign in the older literature) and is itself a function of both space and time. The ascendent is the negative of the gradient. ...
