Hoping for some advice as it's been a long time since I had an interview and I have one coming up for a junior programmer role. I've been working in IT Security for about 5 years but prior to that I did quite a lot of programming (c++ predominantly) during a PhD and I want to get back into it. I've applied for a job with a company that offers GIS/Mapping solutions as both an API and as a managed service.

I've been totally upfront about the fact I haven't written a line of code for a few years and they are cool with that but as part of the interview they have said there will be a test with a couple of programming questions and some maths questions.

Can anyone suggest what type of maths I might want to brush up on? I've done a lot of maths in the past but it's been a long time since I had to use it so I think a refresher would be a good idea!

If anyone can think of some obvious programming questions/topics to go over then that would be handy too (they use c#) although I realise that they have a lot to chose from.

Thanks in advance :)
 
Thanks for the help guys, the interview went pretty well although the guy who interviewed me was really miserable and would be my boss so I don't think I'll be taking it (if I get offered it).
