Point being, you must include the starting number in any recursive definition. Recursive Definition. 1  1) An initial condition that tells where the sequence starts.  2) A recursion formula that tells how any term of the sequence relates to the preceding term.
Recursion occurs when a thing is defined in terms of itself or of its type. Recursion is used in a variety of disciplines ranging from linguistics to logic. The most common application of recursion is in mathematics and computer science, where a function being defined is applied within its own definition. While this apparently defines an infinite number of instances (function values), it is often done in such a way that no loop or infinite chain of references can occur.
