Vanlig feil:
Learners sometimes confuse "grad" with "grade." "Grad" is a person who has finished school (graduate), while "grade" is a school year level or a score. Also, some learners overuse "grad" in formal writing, where the full word "graduate" is usually better.
Betydning
person who has graduated

Synonymer
graduation (Standard, more formal term; clearly refers to the ceremony or the act of graduating.)

grad [function]
In this problem, you first compute the grad of the potential function.
Ebben a feladatban először a potenciálfüggvény gradiensét kell kiszámítani.
The grad of f points in the direction of greatest increase of f.
f gradiense f legnagyobb növekedésének irányába mutat.
We can express the electric field as the negative grad of the potential.
If the grad of a function is zero everywhere, the function is constant.
They wrote grad φ instead of using the nabla symbol on the board.
Eksempler for deg som lærer
In this class, we learn how to find the grad of a function.
Ezen az órán azt tanuljuk, hogyan kell meghatározni egy függvény gradiensét.
The grad of f shows how fast f changes in space.
f gradiense megmutatja, milyen gyorsan változik f a térben.
If the grad is zero, the function does not change.
We write grad f or use the symbol ∇f.
Engineers also use the grad in their work.
Vanlig feil:
Learners may confuse "grad" (gradient operator) with "grade" or "graduate." In math classes, "grad" is a shorthand for the gradient operator ∇, not related to school or degrees.
Betydning
gradient operator in calculus
Ordkombinasjoner
grad f
|grad phi
|take the grad
|compute the grad
|grad of a scalar field
Synonymer
gradient (More general term; can refer to the result of applying the grad operator as well as the operator itself.)
Antonymer
divergence (Another vector calculus operator that measures the net flow out of a point, contrasting with the direction of greatest increase given by grad.)
Temaer

|science
Definisjon
In advanced math, a symbol (∇) that shows how a quantity changes in space when you apply it to a function.
In vector calculus, the gradient operator ∇, which when applied to a scalar field gives a vector field of partial derivatives.
