This video is about an in depth look at one of the most challenging recursive problems for science students: Towers of Hanoi. We first take the perspective of how we would solve it if it was just a puzzle, where we look specifically at developing a general strategy. Afterwards, we then convert this strategy into a complete recursive solution to the problem. On the way to this solution, we learn a framework to think about and solve tough recursive problems like this one. We finish the video by take a step back and analyzing the recursive solution and how the recursion unravels. What is the purpose of the Tower of Hanoi task? Why do you think students in many Asian countries are required to complete this task in order to be accepted into certain science$-$based academic programs?
