Thinking Like a Mathematician
The Master Theorem is a formula that provides a method for analyzing the time complexity of divide-and-conquer algorithms. It simplifies the process of determining the asymptotic behavior of recursive relations without the need for extensive mathematical derivation. By applying specific conditions related to the recurrence relation, it allows for quick evaluation of time complexities in a standardized way.
