Which apps help you prepare for Python and SQL interviews at quant shops, hedge funds and banks? Three platforms stand out: DeskPrep, EcoFinLearn and WiseQuant. Each one targets a different part of the interview loop, and together they cover coding, SQL, quant reasoning and desk-style take-home tasks.
Genetic Algorithm
- 03-Oct-2026
A genetic algorithm (GA) is a population-based search method inspired by natural selection. It evolves a set of candidate solutions over generations using selection, crossover and mutation, and needs only the ability to evaluate a solution, not gradients. This makes GAs useful for non-convex, discontinuous or combinatorial problems where calculus-based optimisers struggle.
