This lecture introduces the concept of algorithms, focusing on recursive functions to solve problems by breaking them down into smaller instances. Topics include algorithm correctness, loop invariants, termination conditions, and the Fibonacci sequence. The instructor explains the advantages and disadvantages of recursive algorithms compared to iterative ones.
