On BEST ANSWER

As already write in the comment the book is old, so it is not the best choose.

There are a lot of books in numerical analysis so this answer is quite opinion based, and and the suggestion depends a lot on the person's background. (I was a math student)

The first thing to take in account is that generally for specific a arguments there are specific books. I suggest these titles who are quite central as augments, so in case you can use them for further reference.

I found these books useful when I was student (and also after).
