In calculus terms the difference between jacobian and gradient
is that
jacobian is the determinant of such a matrix while
gradient is of a function
y =
f(
x) or the graph of such a function, the rate of change of
y with respect to
x that is, the amount by which
y changes for a certain (often unit) change in
x equivalently, the inclination to the X axis of the tangent to the curve of the graph.

- The Jacobian matrix has partial derivatives as its entries.

gradient English
Noun
( en noun)
( slope)
( wikipedia gradient)
A slope or incline.
A rate of inclination or declination of a slope.
(calculus) Of a function y'' = ''f''(''x'') or the graph of such a function, the rate of change of ''y'' with respect to ''x''
that is, the amount by which ''y'' changes for a certain (often unit) change in ''x
equivalently, the inclination to the X axis of the tangent to the curve of the graph.
(science) The rate at which a physical quantity increases or decreases relative to change in a given variable, especially distance.
(analysis) A differential operator that maps each point of a scalar field to a vector pointed in the direction of the greatest rate of change of the scalar. Notation for a scalar field ?: ∇φ
