Combinatorics
The Master Theorem provides a method for analyzing the time complexity of divide-and-conquer algorithms by solving recurrence relations that arise from these algorithms. It offers a straightforward way to determine the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to these recurrences, particularly when they fit specific forms. This theorem is pivotal in efficiently solving many types of recurrences, which are commonly encountered in combinatorial problems and algorithm analysis.
