The text is "The Numerical Solution of Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations, Second Edition," Granville Sewell, John Wiley & Sons, 2005. The rights for this book have recently been returned to me, paper copies are still available at amazon.com here but they are quite expensive, so, I will send you a free PDF file by e-mail upon request. The copy I sent you will be a draft of the third edition, which will be published in 2015 by World Scientific Publishing Co., but either version will work fine for this course, just be sure to download the Fortran or MATLAB programs (link below) corresponding to your version of the book.

Problem list may change during semester, so re-check before starting each assignment.
