Introductory Finite Difference Methods for PDEs
This book presents finite difference methods for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) and also general concepts like stability, boundary conditions etc. Material is in order of increasing complexity (from elliptic PDEs to hyperbolic systems) with related theory included in appendices. Each chapter has written and computer exercises with web links to worked solutions, programs, A/V presentations and case studies. Emphasis is on the practical and students are encouraged to do numerical experiments. This book is intended for undergraduates who know Calculus and introductory programming.

Linear Algebra III
By: Kenneth Kuttler
This contains advanced topics such as various factorizations, singular value decompositions, Moore Penrose inverse, norms, convergence theorems, and an introduction to numerical methods like QR algorithm. Finally, there are some appendices which contain applications of linear algebra or linear algebra techniques. This includes more on general fields and an introduction to geometric theory of diffe...
Matrix Methods and Differential Equations
By: Wynand S. Verwoerd
This book is aimed at students who encounter mathematical models in other disciplines. It assumes some knowledge of calculus, and explains the tools and concepts for analysing models involving sets of either algebraic or 1st order differential equations. The text emphasises commonalities between these modelling approaches. The approach is practical, aiming at insight to understand the mathemati...
