+# Lecture 5: Advanced Topics
+
+In this lecture we discussed recursion, data structures, and algorithmic complexity.
+
+## Recursion
+Recursion is a method of solving problems where the solution depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem.
+
+## Data Structures
+We covered linked lists, trees, and graphs.
