Multigrid

Summary: for actual programmers/scientists
Review: IBM and other companies have been promoting a vision of grid computing. Books have been written, including "Grid Computing" by Joseph and Fellenstein, that describe this approach at a high level. Suitable for system administrators and managers.

By contrast, this book by Trottenberg et al is aimed directly at the scientists and engineers who might be actually writing software for their problems. The mathematical treatment is looser than that in a pure maths book. It's at the typical level for a physic or engineering text. The intent here is not in proving theorems, but in applying them to real world problems.

Specifically, for solving PDEs and linear systems.
