Recursion is a programming and mathematical concept where a function calls itself in order to solve a problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable instances of the same problem. This method can be particularly useful in modeling complex systems, such as aggregate loss distributions and stop-loss reinsurance, as it allows for the iterative calculation of probabilities and losses based on previous outcomes.
congrats on reading the definition of Recursion. now let's actually learn it.
