Gradient
text:
In vector calculus, the gradient of a scalar-valued differentiable function f of several variables is the vector field ∇ f whose value at a point p gives the direction and the rate of fastest increase. The gradient transforms like a vector under change of basis of the space of variables of f. If the gradient of a function is non-zero at a point p, the direction of the gradient is the direction in which the function increases most quickly from p, and the magnitude of the gradient is the rate of i
