Progressions and Types

Introduction:

       Progression is very interesting since we can find the nth term of the particular sequence in much easier way. Moreover we will see in detail about different types involved in progression. 

There are three types of Progression in math,

• Arithmetic progression

• Geometric progression

• Harmonic progression
  

Let us see these progression and their properties in the following section.

Arithmetic Progression:

        It is a sequence of numbers in which each term except the first term can be calculated by adding constant number (common difference) to the immediately preceding number.

Geometric Progression:

        It is a sequence of numbers in which each term of the sequence except the first term can be calculated by multiplying the preceding term by means of a constant factor (common ratio).

Harmonic Progression:

       In mathematics, a harmonic progression is a progression formed by taking the reciprocals of an arithmetic progression. Equivalently, a sequence is a harmonic progression when each term is the harmonic mean of the neighboring terms.
