A follow-on MIT OpenCourseWare course in computational science and engineering, covering numerical methods for scientific computing such as finite differences, finite elements, Fourier methods, and optimization. It is taught by Gilbert Strang and paired with his textbook Computational Science and Engineering.
One commenter wholeheartedly recommends it alongside Strang's book, saying it builds intuition for basic problems in scientific computing.

Certainly nothing remotely comparable to SICP exists. From my point of view people who are interested in these topics are much better off getting some intuition for basic problems in scientific computing and then making the requisite connections themselves. I can wholeheartedly recommend the recent book by Gilbert Strang "Computational Science and Engineering" [1] and companion video lectures for MIT courses 18.085 and 18.086.
