Can anyone suggest me which resources and books to read in order to fully understand about NP-Completeness and related stuff?

I'm currently reading "Introduction to Algorithms" published by MIT Press and found that topic pretty difficult to understand... If any of the Ranchers here got good resources to that topic, it would be really great to share me here...

One more topic is Amortise Analysis, which has been making headache for two weeks already...

Thanks...

Combinatorial Optimization by Christos Papadimitrou also contains NP Completeness.
Applied combinatorics by Alan Tucker also has gentle intro on that.
Is this required for SCMAD?

No... it's not for SCMAD... I'm doing Advance Algorithm course in MSCS...

Thanks for your suggestion about the books...
 
I've read about this kind of thing at the checkout counter. That's where I met this tiny ad:
