Hmm I'm not quite sure, but as I've understood it

recursion is when the next result is dependant on previous results e.g.
when solving differential equations numerically you need a starting point.

whereas

iteration is calculations dependant on previous results BUT approaching a
fixed point e.g. like Newton-Raphson zero method you (normally) approach
one fixed point namely the zero.

If this is not right PLEASE notify me because I need it for an exercise.
