This basic bibliography has been used to prepare the course, and and it is all useful in one or other way.

Numerical Recipes is the main reference book for Numerical Methods, and enjoyable to read. A 3rd edition (2007) is now also available in our library, though in C++. Métodos Numéricos Básicos is an elementary but concise and clear book in Spanish (the original version is in English: Basic Numerical Methods) also available in our library, unfortunately not covering Partial Differential Equations.

Two Fortran manuals are listed. Fortran 90 programming is more a course on Fortran than a manual. Very pedagogical but too lengthy to be used to learn Fortran while already in need to program. The Professional Programmer's Guide is an excellent manual, more useful when one is programming, unfortunately not yet availbable for Fortran 90. It is out of print, but made available by the author on its website.

The book by Emilio Elizalde is probably not publicly available, contact the author or the professor if interested. It covers analytical methods, but also a few numerical methods. Interesting ideas on convergence for methods to solve algebraic equations.
