Recurrences: Substitution, Recursion Tree, Master Theorem

This generated surface maps a learner-facing curriculum unit to its canonical source routes.

Curriculum surface​

  • Open learner-facing unit
  • Curriculum path: content/curriculum/foundations/semester-02-algorithms/module-01-algorithm-analysis-design/concepts/cluster-01-asymptotic-analysis-and-mathematical-foundations/03-recurrences-substitution-recursion-tree-master-theorem-primary.md
  • App: foundations
  • Semester: semester-02-algorithms
  • Module: module-01-algorithm-analysis-design
  • Unit kind: concept
  • Curation level: generated_default

Learning objectives​

  • Explain Recurrences: Substitution, Recursion Tree, Master Theorem in the language of the current curriculum, not just the source book.
  • Apply Recurrences: Substitution, Recursion Tree, Master Theorem to one concrete learner task or example inside this semester.
  • Use introduction-to-algorithms-clrs, the-algorithm-design-manual as a selective source of truth when the learner-facing explanation is not enough.

Prerequisites​

  • The earlier concept pages and practice tasks in the current module.

Source books​

  • introduction-to-algorithms-clrs
  • the-algorithm-design-manual
