Where can I find a comprehensive book on advanced numerical methods for PDEs?

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking recommendations for a book on advanced numerical methods, specifically focusing on finite difference, finite elements, and spectral methods for ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs), with a stronger emphasis on PDEs. They have already completed an introductory course in numerical methods and are looking for resources that cover boundary value problems and differential eigenvalue problems. While "Numerical Recipes" was suggested, the user noted it lacks sufficient content on PDEs. Another participant offered a link to a resource and mentioned the possibility of sending a specific book via email if the link does not work.

Hi all.

I need a book on advanced numerical methods (note: methods, not analysis) suitable for an undergrad. I have already had a first course in numerical methods, the usual one an undergrad takes.
The topics the book needs to cover is:
Finite difference, finite elements and spectral methods for:
ODEs, with boundary value problems;
PDEs
Differential eigenvalue problems

with a stronger emphasise on PDEs. If such a book exists, I would be most grateful if you could recommend it to me.
Thanks

Thanks for the link and suggestion George Jones. I am looking for something whose main focus is PDEs however, and Numerical Recipes does not contain enough info on that.
Any other suggestions?

Try the link below and if it doesn't work then let me know by sending an email with above title as a subject on my id mfarooj@essex.ac.uk and will send you a very good book and you can keep it forever.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
