Dynamic Programming Explained:

Dynamic Programming (DP) is a transformative approach that combines optimal substructure and overlapping subproblems to solve decision problems. It's both a mathematical optimization technique and a computer science programming methodology. When the sub-problems of a larger problem can be solved by recursively nested sub-problems, DP becomes applicable. This relationship is often represented by the Bellman equation in optimization literature.

In this course, we will explore two primary approaches to apply DP:

1. Top-Down Approach: We start from the solution of the entire problem and work our way down to solve each subproblem.
2. Bottom-Up Approach (Tabulation): We solve all possible subproblems first, storing their solutions in a table, and then build up the solution to the larger problem.
