Progreszió

Progreszió is a Hungarian term that translates to "progression" in English. It is a broad concept with applications in various fields, including music, mathematics, and personal development.

In music, progreszió often refers to a harmonic progression, which is a sequence of chords. These progressions create a sense of movement and direction within a piece of music, contributing to its emotional impact and structure. Common progressions like the I-IV-V-I progression are foundational in many genres.

In mathematics, progreszió can denote an arithmetic or geometric progression. An arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between consecutive terms is constant. A geometric progression is a sequence where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

Beyond these specific technical uses, progreszió also embodies the general idea of moving forward, developing, or advancing. This can be seen in personal growth, societal change, or the development of ideas. It implies a movement from a current state to a more developed or advanced one. The specific meaning of progreszió is highly dependent on the context in which it is used.
