Computational Methods for Physics

'Computational Methods for Physics by Joel Franklin is a numerical analysis text written from the point of a physicist and pitched at upper-level physics students. It is different from what you might see in a text written by an applied mathematician. The core [chapters] of the text ... each ... [discuss] a numerical method ... and ... [have] a section on the physical motivation for needing the technique. In addition there are chapters on chaos and neural networks. Each chapter contains a good list of problems, both mathematical and computational. ... This text is an excellent introduction to using numerical methods ...'
