Scientific Computing
Advanced Scientific Fortran,
Author: David R. Wille
Review: A book that shows the whole field well. It goes beyond the tutorial books and has handy source code for some practical programs you should run. It also covers resources.
Authors: William H. Press, Saul A. Teukolsky, William T. Vetterling, Brian P. Flannery
Review: Useless or next to useless with out the book below. Contains program code in Fortran for examples of scientific problems. If you ever thought that science was confusing then this book proves it. It is a nice book, because this may be one of the only books full of programming code in Fortran so it is worth the money. I guess you just have to get the other book too.

Review: I guess this is another one of those white books from O'Reilly about UNIX. I can't seem to get anywhere with it. Does explain command line UNIX and UNIX architecture.
