"Numerical Methods for Scientific and Engineering Computation" is appropriate as a text book for the first course and partly for the second course in numerical analysis. The book is largely self-contained, the courses in calculus and matrices are essential. Some of the special features of the book are: classical and recently developed numerical methods are derived from the high speed computation view point; comparative study of the numerical methods is given to bring out advantages and disadvantages in the implementation of the methods; about 300 problems including BIT problems (1964-83) are listed at the end of Chapters 2 - 7, to serve as exercises and extension to the text; answers and hints to the problems at the end of the book as well as the solved examples in the body of the text will help the students to understand the basic concepts. - from Amzon
