Chapter 15: Mathematics and Puzzles
This chapter covers a controversial topic that's faced in interviews: mathematics and puzzle problems. A significant number of companies consider that these kinds of problems should not be part of a technical interview, while other companies still consider this topic relevant.
The problems included in this topic are brain-teasing and may require a decent level of knowledge in mathematics and logic. You should expect such problems if you plan to apply to a company that works in academic fields (mathematics, physics, chemistry, and so on). However, big companies such as Amazon and Google are also willing to rely on such problems.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Tips and suggestions
- Coding challenges
By the end of this chapter, you should be familiar with these kinds of problems and be able to explore more such problems.
