Exploring recursion with fibonacci numbers
Manuel Rubio-Sánchez, Isidoro Hernán Losada · 2007
This paper addresses the relationship between recursion and combinatorial problems, which may benefit teaching recursion in CS1/2 courses. Problems whose solutions are related to Fibonacci numbers are particularly interesting, since some can be decomposed by using different strategies, which may be based on the numerous Fibonacci identities or even on the concept of mutual recursion.
