As a scientist (well, former scientist) and programmer, I scoff at them for
their code. The text itself is decent if you need a book that covers a lot of
ground. For any one area, though, there are usually better books. _Matrix
Computations_, which I mentioned elsewhere, is difficult to beat for this area.
