    The document discusses the Master Method, a technique for solving recurrence relations that describe algorithm running times. It has three main steps: (1) a base case that defines the runtime for small inputs, (2) a formula that specifies the number of recursive calls and how the input size shrinks with each call, and (3) factors that are independent of the input size n. The Master Method provides a "black box" approach to solving recurrences when subproblems have equal size.
