	Gradient (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The contour map of the terrain is, in effect, a scalar function -- the height z defined by the coordinates of the given point.
		Given a scalar field, the gradient of the field is a vector field, where all vectors point towards the higher values, with magnitude equal to the rate of change of values.
		where (nabla) is the vector differential operator del, and is a scalar function.

	Del - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		In vector calculus, del is a vector differential operator represented by the nabla symbol, ∇.
		Del can also be expressed in other coordinate systems, see for example nabla in cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
		The Laplacian $\nabla^2 f$ is easily the most important of these second derivatives; however, for well-behaved functions the matrix $\nabla \otimes$ \nabla f is a symmetric matrix, and, consequently, it is usually also a Hermitian matrix.

		The coordinates of a point are the components of a tuple of numbers used to represent the location of the point in the plane or space.
		The polar coordinate systems are coordinate systems in which a point is identified by a distance from some fixed feature in space and one or more subtended angles.
		Spherical coordinates are useful in analyzing systems that are symmetrical about a point; a sphere that has the Cartesian equation $x^2+y^2+z^2=c^2$ has the very simple equation $\rho=c$ in spherical coordinates.

	Coordinates (mathematics) Summary
		The coordinates of a point are the components of a tuple of numbers used to represent the location of the point in the plane or space.
		The polar coordinate systems are coordinate systems in which a point is identified by a distance from some fixed feature in space and one or more subtended angles.
		The circular coordinate system, commonly referred to as the polar coordinate system, is a two-dimensional polar coordinate system, defined by an origin, O, and a semi-infinite line L leading from this point.

		Although expressed in terms of coordinates, the result is invariant under proper rotations of the coordinate axes.
		This is a chiral operation, producing a pseudovector that takes on opposite values in left-handed and right-handed coordinate systems.
		In a tornado the winds are rotating about the eye, and a vector field showing wind velocities would have a non-zero curl at the eye, and possibly elsewhere (see vorticity).

		More intuitively, orthogonal coordinate systems are those in which the coordinate surfaces meet at right angles.
		These unit vectors are tangent to the coordinate lines and form the coordinate axes of a local Cartesian coordinate system.
		With the exception of ellipsoidal coordinates, most of these coordinate systems are generated from a two-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system, either by rotating it about a symmetry axis, or by simply projecting it perpendicularly into a third dimension.

		These calculations follow almost identically the calculations made for cylindrical coordinates -- spherical coordinates are simply more difficult to work with because z is not defined in both the rectangular and spherical coordinate systems.
		Unlike cylindrical coordinate calculations, d/dz is now an issue because of the addition of the variable phi.
		Now, armed with the spherical nabla operator and the spatial derivatives for spherical coordinates, we can do the vector calculations needed to derive the equation of energy in terms of sherical coordinates.

		Component of vectors, such as displacements and forces, are always defined positive in the positive coordinate directions, and plots of displacements are always shown upright (i.e., never reversed or upside down).
		Also, this convention calls for the use of second (cylindrical or spherical) Hankel functions when formulating wave propagation problems in infinite media, either in cylindrical or in spherical coordinates, and casting them in the frequency domain.
		On the one hand, this convention facilitates the conversion between Cartesian and either cylindrical or spherical coordinates; on the other, it provides a convenient x–y reference system when working in horizontal planes (i.e., in a bird’s-eye view).
