Is there a classical textbook/reference on numerical discretization schemes? I found that it is relatively easy to find a book that discusses Euler discretization or Runge-Kutta discretization, but I am not aware of one that is well-known and/or common knowledge (i.e., field-bible).
Can anyone provide a good reference in this area?
 A: Too long for a comment: I think the list of references appearing on the wiki page for numerical methods for ordinary differential equations is not bad overall; let me just highlight some canonical references by (i) Ernst Hairer, Syvert Nørsett and Gerhard Wanner; (ii) Arieh Iserles; (iii) John Butcher; and (iv) C. William Gear.
