- A graded change in the magnitude of some physical quantity or dimension
- The property possessed by a line or surface that departs from the horizontal; "a five-degree gradient"
- In vector calculus, the gradient of a scalar field is a vector field which points in the direction of the greatest rate of increase of the scalar field, and whose magnitude is the greatest rate of change.
- Gradience as a linguistic concept was first advanced by linguist Dwight Bolinger to describe the effect seen in the spectrum of probability. Gradience, as word or trope, is visually represented with signs or images.
- A slope or incline; A rate of inclination or declination of a slope; Of a function y = f(x) or the graph of such a function, the rate of change of y with respect to x, that is, the amount by which y changes for a certain (often unit) change in x; The rate at which a physical quantity increases ...
- (Gradients) Areas of land that slope downwards.
- (Gradients) are often oversimplified. Dysesthesia follows loss of fine touch, while hyperpathia follows retention of fine touch. By convention, however, these usually occur distally and proximally respectively, as described below.
- The difference in pressure, oxygen tension, or other variable as a function of distance, time or other continuously changing influence.
- A gradual approach to something, taken step by step, so that, finally, quite complicated and difficult activities or concepts can be achieved with relative ease.
