Interview could be dreadful. I hate to be on both sides. I was once asked to
derive the Equivalent Number Bits (ENOB) formula for AD converter. Finding
the right answer involves modeling the quantization error, setting up a
definite integral, evaluate it and perform some logmarithmic arithmetic. I
got that one just because my degree was still warm. Damn, I love doing
math but not in the public.
