Gradient


Definition:

  • (a.) Moving by steps; walking; as, gradient automata.
  • (a.) Rising or descending by regular degrees of inclination; as, the gradient line of a railroad.

  • (n.) The rate of increase or decrease of a variable magnitude, or the curve which represents it; as, a thermometric gradient.
