    I can count with the fingers of my hand the times I had to implement recursive methods in my life, so what was the fuzz all about when you are in school ant programming teachers tell you that that is the holy grail of programming!!! ps: i know that is important but most of recursive functions are implememnted and you only have to use them.

    A few times when I worked on data structures, half of which ended in oveflown stacks. Then I gave up completely. :)

      Linear algebra is another one. Don't use it at all for most things, but good luck doing 3D graphics without it. It's good to have a varied tool kit, just in case.

      I am a 3D programmer and I tell you that you almost dont need recursion for 3D programming, I even made an iterative method for terrain following when all tutorials said otherwise, and works faster
