I took a version of this class (called The Art of Approximation) with Dr. Mahajan when he was a visiting professor at Olin College. The course helped me become fearless about tackling a broad range of math problems I knew little about, and has helped me in countless real life situations from financial planning to major work decisions.

Also, it's a great intro on good ways to nail PM interviews, at least at Google (where I now work, thanks in no small part to the lessons from this class).

If you have a spare few hours, read this book or take his classes on edX. It'll absolutely change your intuition for numbers.

Oh cool. I'm actually in Olin now, and even better, taking his class as I type this post.

I'll pass along any cool questions.

Thank you for sharing the first hand experience. When I see book pdfs posted here, my first question is "Did anyone actually read or go through this?"

Is it really just a few hours to go through it? :-)

Could you give an example? It would be great to know why you say so.

If you don't mind me asking, any other resources you found useful for PM interviews?

What class is that? Is any similar MOOC course available?
