For a lot of numerical problems I can STRONGLY recommend the book

  NUMERICAL RECIPES IN PASCAL -- The Art of Scientific Computing

written by four authors (Press, Flannery et.al.) and published by
Cambridge University Press (UK). It contains many procedure listings
and you can order an 51/4" disk with all the nice stuff on it.

The book is very good from the mathematical point of view and it
is fun to read!

PS: If a student wanted to have his homework done by someone else
    he wouldn't have to post it on the net. Probably his professor
    would read it there quite soon...
