Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations in Science and Engineering (PDF)

From the reviews of Numerical Solution of Partial
Differential Equations in Science and Engineering:

"The book by Lapidus and Pinder is a very comprehensive, even
exhaustive, survey of the subject . . . [It] is unique in that it
covers equally finite difference and finite element methods."

Burrelle's

"The authors have selected an elementary (but not simplistic)
mode of presentation. Many different computational schemes are
described in great detail . . . Numerous practical examples and
applications are described from beginning to the end, often with
calculated results given."

Mathematics of Computing

"This volume . . . devotes its considerable number of pages to
lucid developments of the methods [for solving partial differential
equations] . . . the writing is very polished and I found it a
pleasure to read!"
