Lecture: "Beautiful Math Problems from IT Job Interviews"

By mathematics teacher Boris Trushin

IT job interviews often include clever math problems designed to test a candidate’s ability to think outside the box. Most of these problems don’t require math knowledge beyond the 6th–7th grade level, but that doesn’t make them any easier. In this lecture, we will explore some of the most interesting problems of this type.

The lecture will be useful for both students passionate about mathematics and adults who finally want to fall in love with it.
