Lineáris

lineáris is a Hungarian word that translates to "linear" in English. It is commonly used in mathematics and physics to describe relationships or systems that exhibit a straight-line progression or proportionality. For instance, a linear function is one where the graph is a straight line, meaning the output changes at a constant rate with respect to the input. In physics, a linear system is one where the output is directly proportional to the input, often adhering to principles like superposition. The concept of linearity is fundamental across many scientific disciplines, simplifying complex phenomena by representing them with straightforward mathematical models. It implies a predictable and uniform behavior, making analysis and prediction more manageable. The term can also extend to other contexts, such as describing a linear arrangement of objects or a linear progression of events.
