Absract. The article discusses the standard course for learning recurrent sequences in the primary, secondary and high-school mathematics. We propose an extension of the curricula with adding recurrent linear homogeneous sequences in the upper high school course. Additionally, we present related problems in computer science and information technology in order to construct interdisciplinary links, aimed at demonstrating the applied side of recurrent sequences as well as motivating the more gifted students for the learning of some specific computer science basics.
Keywords: recurrent sequences; characteristic equation; mathematical induction; interdisciplinary links; recursive function
