1. Describe learning a new technical skill or technique outside of the classroom.
Describe a time where your work on a project or problem allowed you to learn a new technical skill or technique outside of the classroom. What was the project? What tools did you use to develop your knowledge or skillset? How did this impact the work you were trying to complete? How do you use this knowledge or skillset today?
2. Walk through one of your favorite quantitative and/or technical projects.
Walk through one of your favorite quantitative and/or technical projects that you completed at school or with a previous employer. What was the end goal? What technical tools (i.e. graphs, systems, coding languages, etc.) did you use to solve the problem? Why did you choose those tools? What was the outcome?
3. Coding Solution Discussion
How did you solve the previous coding challenge, and what was your alternative solution and why did you not use it?
4. Stack Manipulation Coding Challenge
Coding: Given a sequence of numbers, implement push and pop functions. The push function should convert an integer into a stack, and the pop function should output the integers at odd indices in reverse order.
5. Summation Coding Challenge
Coding: Input a number and output the sum of numbers from 1 to that number, excluding multiples of 5 and 7.
