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
