  Interesting link, thanks. But I don't think it totally covers the machinery that people use nowadays for numerically solving complicated physics problems. E.g., the topics that I mentioned, multigrid and discrete differential forms, seem to be missing here.

    You might like "Fundamentals of Scientific Computing," "Mathematical Experiments on the Computer," and "Discrete Mathematics for Computing." The first one in particular may have what you're looking for.

    That's not what Feynman is talking about at all. He touches on it; points out that what you get from numerical methods is an approximation, whereas he wants to talk about how you would get an exact simulation.
