Baruch MFE 2021 Fall Round 1 面经

Baruch MFE 2021 Fall Round 1 with A/Prof Ivan Matic

1. Walk me through your resume
2. What is a sample space? What is a Random Variable? What is Cumulative Probability Function?
3. Can you describe sample space and random variable in mathematical language?
4. Construct a sample space of size 5 and construct two independent random variables for that sample space. Can you try non-constant valued RV?
5. How do you tell if two random variables are independent?
6. What is a geometric distribution? What is its parameter? Find E(xe^x) for a geometric distribution with p = 0.5
7. How much do you know about operating systems? What projects have you done in your operating system courses?
8. Any questions for me?

然后Matic教授大人给我讲了五分钟如果来Baruch的话他们会保证place一个New York的position，但是如果不想留在New York的话就"you'd better go to NYU or Columbia"。总用时30分钟正。

讲真这个面试太奇葩了，我准备了很久的linear algebra, calculus, options pricing, algorithms统统没用上，整整十五分钟都用来讨论sample space和random variable的数学定义了。我觉得大家在准备的时候一定要小心自己在resume上提到的关键词，不然会像我一样被抓住往死里问。。。祝大家好运！
