I dont think IIT has given too many problems of reccursion in the past. Nor do i feel that theywill a lot

REmember that telescopic sums that we do is what reccursion is in terms of IITJEE.

That is all

So if you can do those like

1/1.2+1/2.3+...........1/n(n+1)

then you are done with most of the problems.

But is that all???

I know how to do that sum....those type of sums are my favourite in "Sequences and Series".....

Bhaiya, u know the sum krish1092 gave???

\int \frac{dx}{1+x^{2n}}???

My friend (the same one who caused the tussle between us) solved that sum using reccursion........ That's why i asked!!!

yeah i know... but they will never come in IIT JEE

I know many people will blame me for inhibiting learning.. But these problems will not be asked in IIT JEE ever

They are "good"(?) things to know if you are interested in learning...
