  ... but not really the sort of mathematics it sounds like the OP is interested in learning right now. (I agree that NR is a first-rate bit of paedagogy. It's usual for numerics experts to be sniffy about the actual algorithms, which are often chosen for simplicity or clarity more than for their actual performance.)

    Could HN recommend any 'math for programmers' resources or suggest structured approaches... I suggested Numerical recipes coz it contains the implementation of Various Liner Algebra algorithms which form the basics of Math for Programmers..
