If you think that algorithms and math are not applicable to programming at Amazon, Facebook or Google's scale, you really do not understand the work that they are doing.
- bamboo_7 10y ago"If you think that algorithms and math are not applicable to programming at Amazon..." When did I say that??
- nostrebored 10y agoYou said that he's studying interview techniques -- he's studying math for cs, basic algorithms, and algorithmic design. He mentioned that whiteboarding has scared him, he did not say that he was studying only to get better at whiteboarding.
- bamboo_7 10y agoMy issue was more with the answers given here, not the question asked. When I wrote this comment, the top comment and all of the others recommended studying interview questions, not algorithms and math FOR answering interview questions. That's what bothers me.
- nostrebored 10y agoGotcha -- when I looked, yours was the top comment. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
- Azkar 10y agoBeing able to remember and implement those algorithms in under 20 minutes on a white board is not applicable to programming at Amazon, Facebook or Google at scale.
