well all the contestants can
well all the contestants can also try the problems
of the Benelux programming contests that is the regional contest held for the citizes of US for the ACM ICPC
some of the books
that one can refer for improving the number theoretic algos is by springer publications
1.victors number theoretic algorithms
and for quantum algorithms u can refer to
2. Papadimitrou
for the knap sack problems you can refer to
3.knap sck problems algorithms and computer implementations by silvano martello
u can also refer to BITWISE
u can also refer to BITWISE the annual competition organized by IIT kharagpur reated to algorithms
a nice contest
also for improving your c nd
also for improving your c nd c++ skills you can refer to herbert schildt the complete reference a nice manual
for data structures refer steven s skiena or mark allen weiss a nice guide to them
@ANKIT SABLOK can you give
@ANKIT SABLOK
can you give name of book for ds by steven s skiena ..........
actually i have to read one book for ds so can you help me in deciding between that two book......
@soc : There is the algorithm
@soc : There is the algorithm design manual by steven skiena. The other famous one is Programming Challenges.
can anybody suggest a good
can anybody suggest a good book on Computational Geometry.....
