Important Vector Identities

1. The gradient of the sum of two functions f and g is equal to the sum of their individual gradients. 2. The gradient of a constant times a function is equal to that constant times the gradient of the function. 3. The gradient of the product of two functions f and g is the sum of f times the gradient of g and g times the gradient of f.
