In this article, we will learn the Master's Theorem from Daniel's story.

I so sad, I don't know what to do. (77).png One beautiful morning, Daniel was preparing for his dream job. Daniel is an engineering graduate. He is very hardworking, but he is also lazy. He is studying data structures and algorithms. He also has a friend named Therese, who is pretty smart and good at data structures. Let's see how Therese influences Daniel to learn the Master's Theorem

I so sad, I don't know what to do (22).png Without deriving a lot of derivations, we can find the Time Complexity. But only recurrence relations involving fractional figures are suitable for Master's Theorem.
