Intro to Algo - lecture 2 - solving recurrences

=============================================================== Lecture 2 Asymptotic Notation and Recurrences =============================================================== Solving Recurrences 1. Substitution method 2. Recursion-tree method 3. master method (be careful when using this method) This lecture is quite mathematical. A trick: (1.1111...) = 2 => 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + ... = 2
