Yes. A book on numerical methods by a software engineer and a good
reference book on numerical analysis is pretty much what an engineer/
scientist other than working in the field of computer science needs.
There are many books in other languages with titles such as "Language
X for scientists and engineers" but I have yet to find one that
reflects good programming practice with software engineering
principles. Ada is wonderful in that it allows code re-use in a very
elegant way.
