# Divide and Conquer

Traditionally, recursion is really hard for students to understand, and is taught fairly quickly. **Divide and Conquer** aims to walk the reader through the process of learning to think recursively at a manageable pace. There's a short preface about functions as well.

The only knowledge required is basic python. Specifically, you should know how if/else, functions, and while loops work.
