recursion in mathematical functions
Recursion in mathematical functions refers to the process of defining a function in terms of itself, either directly or indirectly. It involves breaking down a complex problem into simpler sub-problems by repeatedly applying the same function until a base case is reached. This recursive approach allows for efficient and elegant solutions to problems that can be expressed recursively.
