| Jun 1, 2011 at 4:59 | comment | added | Nilima Nigam | This is a very broad question. Are you seeking approximations of solutions of PDE? Large linear systems? Eigenvalue problems? Optimization problems? Integral equations? Any book which professes to do all of these will not do any in depth. A collection of 'just the methods' would, for example, be 'Numerical Recipes in C', but is this the level that you want? | |

| Jun 8, 2010 at 15:37 | comment | added | gowers | I always feel a bit awkward recommending a book with which I am heavily associated, but Nick Trefethen wrote a beautiful article on the general ideas of numerical analysis for the Princeton Companion to Mathematics. It's even available online: comlab.ox.ac.uk/nick.trefethen/NAessay.pdf | |
