RECURSION!
For some reason, I've always avoided recursion. Whenever I was in a situation where I had to use it I could get away with copy pasting code. After one lecture, it seems silly I've never put in 20 mins to learn and understand the powerful and amazing tool that recursion is. This week's tutorial was the first time that I felt I was carrying my partner. The short simple recursive problems were very fun.
Currently I'm in a mathematics program. I applied to mathematics because I feel that math is beautiful. I can appreciate an elegant proof in a unique way. Never have I felt about another subject the same way until now. Recursion is amazing.
Here is a beautiful tribute to the Fibonacci Sequence (a recursive sequence!):
