Thanks to everybody who responded to my query. I got many useful suggestions about books and editors, plus notes and other material online.
Summarizing, the books suggested were - Monahan, Numerical Methods of Statistics - Lange, Numerical analysis for statisticians In terms of Editors, TINN-R was mentioned several times, in addition to R's build-in code editor. I will report to the list on my experience in this course and whatever books/tools I will end up using, since there seems to be some interest. Have a good weekend!
