Solving Ordinary Differential Equations II: Stiff and Differential-Algebraic Problems (Springer Series in Computational Mathematics, 14)

The subject of this book is the solution of stiff differential equations and of differential-algebraic systems. This second edition contains new material including new numerical tests, recent progress in numerical differential-algebraic equations, and improved FORTRAN codes.

From the reviews:

"A superb book...Throughout, illuminating graphics, sketches and quotes from papers of researchers in the field add an element of easy informality and motivate the text." --MATHEMATICS TODAY
