From the reviews of the second edition: This is 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 "This volume, on nonstiff equations, is the second of a two-volume set. This second volume treats stiff differential equations and differential-algebraic equations. ... This book is highly recommended as a text for courses in numerical methods for ordinary differential equations and as a reference for the worker. It should be in every library, both academic and industrial." (Teodora-Liliana Radulescu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1192, 2010)
