Divide-and-conquer algorithm: History & Science

In computer science, divide and conquer, originally a political maxim, designates an algorithm design paradigm. A divide-and-conquer algorithm recursively breaks down a problem into two or more sub-problems of the same or related type, until these become simple enough to be solved directly. The solutions to the sub-problems are then combined to give a…
