  abstract =     "Recursion is a powerful idea*-with correspondingly
                 powerful implications for learning and teaching
                 mathematics. Computer scientists have previously
                 pointed out that the use of recursion often permits
                 more lucid and concise descriptions of algorithms [1];
                 mathematicians know that recursion is a fundamental
                 concept upon which entire systems of mathematics can be
                 built [11]; and, the theory of recursive functions is
                 now developing into an area of mathematics whose
                 importance has been compared with that of geometry and
                 algebra [3]. The purposes of this paper are to
                 illuminate the fundamentals of recursion; to illustrate
                 several recursive computer programs which provide
                 perspicuous representations of certain mathematical
                 procedures; and to invite students and teachers of
                 mathematics to reach greater understandings by trying
                 them.",
