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.
