Recursion is one of the most fundamental concepts in computer
science and a key programming technique that allows computations to
be carried out repeatedly. Despite the importance of recursion for
algorithm design, most programming books do not cover the topic in
detail, despite the fact that numerous computer programming
professors and researchers in the field of computer science
education agree that recursion is difficult for novice students.
Introduction to Recursive Programming provides a detailed and
comprehensive introduction to recursion. This text will serve as a
useful guide for anyone who wants to learn how to think and program
recursively, by analyzing a wide variety of computational problems
of diverse difficulty. It contains specific chapters on the most
common types of recursion (linear, tail, and multiple), as well as
on algorithm design paradigms in which recursion is prevalent
(divide and conquer, and backtracking). Therefore, it can be used
in introductory programming courses, and in more advanced classes
on algorithm design. The book also covers lower-level topics
related to iteration and program execution, and includes a rich
chapter on the theoretical analysis of the computational cost of
recursive programs, offering readers the possibility to learn some
basic mathematics along the way. It also incorporates several
elements aimed at helping students master the material. First, it
contains a larger collection of simple problems in order to provide
a solid foundation of the core concepts, before diving into more
complex material. In addition, one of the book's main assets is the
use of a step-by-step methodology, together with specially designed
diagrams, for guiding and illustrating the process of developing
recursive algorithms. Furthermore, the book covers combinatorial
problems and mutual recursion. These topics can broaden students'
understanding of recursion by forcing them to apply the learned
concepts differently, or in a more sophisticated manner. The code
examples have been written in Python 3, but should be
straightforward to understand for students with experience in other
programming languages. Finally, worked out solutions to over 120
end-of-chapter exercises are available for instructors.
