Recursion and backtracking algorithms are powerful and flexible tools for solving a wide range of computational problems. Their implementation in Python, with proper attention to details and base cases, can lead to elegant and efficient solutions. In this section, thanks to a series of in-depth articles, understanding these concepts is essential for successfully tackling complex problems and paves the way for creative and innovative solutions.

Recursion concept
Recursion is a concept in which a function calls itself directly or indirectly during its execution. This approach allows the division of a complex problem into more manageable subproblems. In the in-depth article we will illustrate examples of recursive functions, highlighting the importance of correctly defining the base cases.
Backtracking: Systematic Exploration
Backtracking is a technique that uses recursion to systematically explore all the possibilities of a solution. When a partial solution is invalid, backtracking backtracks and explores alternatives. In in-depth articles, we will explore backtracking algorithms through practical examples, such as the N queens problem, the traveling salesman problem and sudoku.
