The Gradient and Tangent Planes
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics · University · Real Analysis
This unit introduces the concept of the gradient of a function of several variables, which is a vector that points in the direction of the greatest rate of change of the function. We will also define tangent planes to level surfaces of functions and explore the concept of directional derivatives.
