Undergrad Numerical Method Textbook
The author employs Python for that. The content is typical of an undergraduate course in numerical methods. It doesn't tell you how to use various modules available on the net. Instead, the author sticks to the standard few and explains numerical methods from the very basics. The book is very good for an introduction coursework. However, if you are a researcher looking for tools for serious numerical computation and thinking of using Python as an efficient and convenient organizer(or "glue") rather than a number cruncher, you might as well consult the book by H. P. Langtangen.

This book is also useful if you want to get a hang on how a textbook numerical method would work on Python. You can then use the language for a quick algorithm prototyping in your own work.
