The gradient ∇u is the vector whose components are the first partial derivatives of u. For a function of two variables, ∇, where is the partial derivative with respect to x and is the partial derivative with respect to y.
Conditions: u is a scalar function of two variables x and y.; u has partial derivatives with respect to x and y.
