Abstract: We compare the sets of homotopy classes of gradient and proper gradient vector fields in the plane. Namely, we show that gradient and proper gradient homotopy classifications are essentially different. We provide a complete description of the sets of homotopy classes of gradient maps from $mathbb{R}^n$ to $mathbb{R}^n$ and proper gradient maps from $mathbb{R}^2$ to $mathbb{R}^2$ with the Brouwer degree greater or equal to zero.
