Del Amo Endowment
Del, or nabla, is an Operator (mathematics), operator used in mathematics (particularly in vector calculus) as a vector (geometry), vector differential operator, usually represented by the nabla symbol ∇. When applied to a function (mathematics), function defined on a dimension (mathematics), one-dimensional domain, it denotes the standard derivative of the function as defined in calculus. When applied to a ''field'' (a function defined on a multi-dimensional domain), it may denote any one of three operations depending on the way it is applied: the gradient or (locally) steepest slope of a scalar field (or sometimes of a vector field, as in the Navier–Stokes equations#Interpretation as v·(∇v), Navier–Stokes equations); the divergence of a vector field; or the curl (mathematics), curl (rotation) of a vector field.
