|  |     An introduction that has references to the literature is (see chapter 8):
	"Introduction to Numerical Analysis"
	Stoer and Bulirsch, Springer Verlag.
    Despite its title, it's not for airheads and would be more appropriate
    for a second course than a first introduction.  Good book though.
    I don't have much experience in the area, but this should be a good
    start.  Note that SIAM has at least one book on boundary value problems
    (though it may be only elliptic problems).

    An old but a good reference, in the subject is :
    
    APPLIED NUMERICAL METHODS
    
    		BY
    Brice Carnahan, H.A. Luther 
        and James O. Wilkes
        
    Published by J. Wiley, 1969
    
    Chapter 7 contains various numerical methods on the solution of
    PDE. The methods are also illustrated by good doc. FORTRAN IV (IBM
    360 !!!!) subroutines and progs.
    Of course; you will need to rewrite some of the subroutines once
    again for //proc. 
    
    Good luck.

| 898.4 | .1 should be a good book | MEIS::WOLFF | I feel the need, the need for speed | Thu Jul 14 1988 14:15 | 10 |

        I know Prof. Bulirsch, if that book is as good as his courses, then
it must be an excellent book. BTW, you would not believe that this man has 
anything to do with math, if you would see him on the street - you would 
think of an olympic athlet or something like that; he is about 2 meters high
(which is in american feet something like 6.6 ft I think) and is bascially
a very big human being - but nice.

|  | The recent book "Numerical Recipes" [in FORTRAN, PASCAL, or C] has a good 
chapter (17) on PDE's. The treatment has good intuitive content and the 
algorithms appear to be good.
