| | A common example of recursion is the function to calculate the \(n\)-th Fibonacci number: def naive_fib(n): if n < 2: return n else: return naive_fib(n-1) + naive_fib(n-2) This follows the mathematical definition very closely but it's performance is terrible: roughly \(\mathcal{O}(2^n)\). This is commonly patched up with dynamic programming. Specifically, either the memoization: from functools import lru_cache @lru_cache(100) def memoized_fib(n): if n < 2: return n else: return memoized_fib(n-1) + memoiz...

| | (Part I of this post ishere) Let $latex p(n)$ denote the partition function, which describes the number of ways to write $latex n$ as a sum of positive integers, ignoring order. In 1918 Hardy and Ramanujan proved that $latex p(n)$ is given asymptotically by $latex \displaystyle p(n) \approx \frac{1}{4n \sqrt{3}} \exp \left( \pi \sqrt{ \frac{2n}{3}...
