This is an extremely useful and well-written book. It is perfectly organized and very well structured. The level is just right; not too simple and not too tough. The software is a big bonus. Everything I have needed on numerics I have found in this book. Highly recommended.

I used this book for a Graduate level course and I bought it because it was the recommended text. I didn't like it, though, too big for its content. I am sure there should be better texts on the subject.

I used this reference recently to help me with a research project and found the organization of the sections on numerical solutions to differential equations to be very helpful. The book is very well organized, and presented the material in a suggestive way, so that I was able to use it in developing some ideas concerning the theoretical aspects of computation. I think that any reference which leads one to develop new theoretical insights must be recommended, but it appears also to be very well organized for ordinary practical purposes as well. I highly recommend it.
