Scalar field

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data



This is not really a problem but I was going over my lecture notes and I see [itex] \mathscr{H}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\pi^{2} + \vec{\nabla}\phi \cdot \vec{\nabla}\phi + m^{2}\phi^{2}\right) [/itex] and [itex]\frac{\partial\mathscr{H}}{\partial\phi} = -\nabla^{2}\phi + m^{2}\phi [/itex]



2. Relevant equations







3. The attempt at a solution



I would think that [itex]\frac{\partial\mathscr{H}}{\partial\phi} = \nabla^{2}\phi + m^{2}\phi [/itex]. But I don't know where the minus sign is coming from.
