Fortran 77 Programming

Offering a clear tutorial guide for the new Fortran 90 language, this book highlights Fortran 90's role as a powerful tool for problem-solving in engineering and science. Having been involved in the development of the new standard, the authors provide (as a bonus) an inside perspective on the design rationale behind the major features of Fortran 90.Features comprehensive coverage of all the major language features, with clear guidelines on the differences between the 77 and 90 standards case studies illustrating its applications in scientific problem-solving two authoritative chapters in coding numerical methods in Fortran 90 an early introduction to procedures and modules to encourage a structural approach to programming 0201544466B04062001

Fortran Is The Pioneer Computer Language Originally Designed To Suit Numerical, Scientific And Engineering Computations. In Spite Of The Birth Of Several Computer Languages, Fortran Is Still Used As A Primary Tool For Programming Numerical Computations. In This Book All The Features Of Fortran 77 Have Been Elaborately Explained With The Support Of Examples And Illustrations. Programs Have Been Designed And Developed In A Systematic Way For All The Classical Problems. All The Topics Of Numerical Methods Have Been Presented In A Simple Style And Algorithms Developed. Complete Fortran 77 Programs And More Than One Sets Of Sample Data Have Been Given For Each Method. The Content Of The Book Have Been Carefully Tailored For A Course Material Of A One Semester Course For The Computer Science, Mathematics And Physics Students.

An introduction to the venerable computer language, based on the interactive environment it is now used in--microcomputers, linked terminals of a mainframe--rather than on the off-line program preparation (punch cards) it was designed for. Sets out the desiderata of modular programming and structured program design, then shows how to accomplish them with Fortran 77. Updated to reflect the language's evolution since the 1984 first edition. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This is a revised and enlarged version of the author's book which received wide acclamations in its earlier three editions. It provides a lucid and in-depth introduction to the programming language Fortran 77 which is widely used by scientists and engineers.The fourth edition is completely revised chapterwise and also minor corrections incorporated. A new standard for Fortran called Fortran 90 was introduced in early 90s and compilers for this version of Fortran were sold in early 1995 by computer vendors. All Fortran 77 programs will run without change with Fortran 90 compilers; however some aspects of Fortran 77 have been declared obsolete and will not run on future Fortran compilers_these are explained in this revised edition. An appendix consolidates these features. Fortran 90 is introduced in a new chapter which summarises all its features.

Modern Fortran teaches you to develop fast, efficient parallel applications using twenty-first-century Fortran. In this guide, you’ll dive into Fortran by creating fun apps, including a tsunami simulator and a stock price analyzer. Filled with real-world use cases, insightful illustrations, and hands-on exercises, Modern Fortran helps you see this classic language in a whole new light. Summary Using Fortran, early and accurate forecasts for hurricanes and other major storms have saved thousands of lives. Better designs for ships, planes, and automobiles have made travel safer, more efficient, and less expensive than ever before. Using Fortran, low-level machine learning and deep learning libraries provide incredibly easy, fast, and insightful analysis of massive data. Fortran is an amazingly powerful and flexible programming language that forms the foundation of high performance computing for research, science, and industry. And it's come a long, long way since starting life on IBM mainframes in 1956. Modern Fortran is natively parallel, so it's uniquely suited for efficiently handling problems like complex simulations, long-range predictions, and ultra-precise designs. If you're working on tasks where speed, accuracy, and efficiency matter, it's time to discover—or re-discover—Fortran.. About the technology For over 60 years Fortran has been powering mission-critical scientific applications, and it isn't slowing down yet! Rock-solid reliability and new support for parallel programming make Fortran an essential language for next-generation high-performance computing. Simply put, the future is in parallel, and Fortran is already there. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
