Algorithmic Problems in Python

Description This course is about the fundamental concepts of algorithmic problems, focusing on recursion, backtracking and dynamic programming. As far as I am concerned these techniques are very important nowadays, algorithms can be used (and have several applications) in several fields from software engineering to investment banking or R&D. In each section we will talk about the theoretical background for all of these algorithms then we are going to implement these problems one by one. The first chapter is about recursion. Why is it crucial to know about recursion as a computer scientist?
