gradient

gra di ent |ˈgrādēənt ˈɡreɪdiənt | ▶noun 1 an inclined part of a road or railway; a slope: fail-safe brakes for use on steep gradients. • the degree of such a slope: the path becomes very rough as the gradient increases. • Mathematics the degree of steepness of a graph at any point. 2 Physics an increase or decrease in the magnitude of a property (e.g., temperature, pressure, or concentration ) observed in passing from one point or moment to another. • the rate of such a change. • Mathematics the vector formed by the operator ∇ acting on a scalar function at a given point in a scalar field. ORIGIN mid 19th cent.: from grade, on the pattern of salient .
