    In lecture on Monday, recursion was introduced, including the following topics:

    • the general notion of recursion & recursive functions
    • fractals (self similar images) and how recursive functions can draw fractals
    • math operations/series/sequences based on recursion

    Here are the lecture notes.

    Here are the various circle fractal programs we looked at:

    and the factorial math program we looked at: Recursive Factorial and output that it generates (showing how it works behind the scenes): factorial2Outputs.txt
