I am trying to learn something about scientific computer programming. Can anyone suggest a book or set of books that would be worth reading in order to pick up some of the fundamentals of the necessary math involved in most biological computer applications? I am also interested in comments from anyone concerning what might be a good language to work in. I'm learning "C" now, like half of the world, but would like to know people's opinion of C's viability as a hard-core scientific language.

...my favorite comment about C as a programming language: "C has all the power of assembly language...with all the flexibility of assembly language" -sm- -------
