My First Time

This post is a lot less interesting than the title indicated it might have been.

Next week I have a phone interview with Jefferies for a summer analyst position in IBD (NY office). HR said that there would technical elements to the interview. Which technical topics would likely come up over the phone?

I have no finance professional experience and I am not an undergraduate business student, but rather math+econ. I'm currently unfamiliar with a lot of the technical aspects of ibd interviews and eventually I will have it all down, but this phone interview is soon and I'd like to know what to focus on.
