Definition of Gradient

Gradient
Gradient Gra"di*ent, n. 1. The rate of regular or graded ascent or descent in a road; grade. 2. A part of a road which slopes upward or downward; a portion of a way not level; a grade. 3. The rate of increase or decrease of a variable magnitude, or the curve which represents it; as, a thermometric gradient.
