This lecture focuses on solving recurrence equations using a variety of different methods. The different methods and an explanation of how to use them and when they are useful are explained with a variety of problems in this lesson. Some really great example problems are done to solidify understanding of these concepts. For the most part, however, this video gets bogged down with a lot of really in-depth calculations.
This is the most thorough video I've found on the web regarding recurrence equations.
