Please ask the maths genius if any heading starting with
Discrete Mathematics and in particular
Discrete Mathematics/Recursion was a bit of a brain twister?

Recursion, to put it simply, is the process of describing an action in terms of itself. This may seem a bit strange to understand, but once it "clicks" it can be an extremely powerful way of expressing certain ideas.

Then be asked to solve a recursive problem in some archaic (to some) programming language, say "FORTRAN".
It took a few hundred exercises to obtain that "click".
Why is it that all computer science classes have a math prerequisite?
Is this not the Vent and Rant thread?
