Notation of the gradient

28 Views Asked by At

I have problems understanding a specific notation of the gradient, more specifically the following question

What is the meaning of the gradient notation grad_x H where H is a function?

My attempt at answering this question is:

Assume that H = H(x,y) then we know that grad_x ( H(x,y) ) = d/dx ( H(x,y) )

Is this correct?
