This book is a complete presentation of standard FORTRAN 77 with special applications of numerical methods in science and engineering. It surpasses the coverage of its best-selling predecessor, FORTRAN 77 for Engineers and Scientists, Third Edition, by adding a current introduction to Fortran 90. This book emphasizes sound structured programming and software engineering principles; its clear and concise presentation is perfect for readers who possess a background in algebra, with no previous programming experience.
Best-selling authors, Larry Nyhoff and Sanford Leestma, bring you one of the first Fortran 90 texts in concise and modular format that features excellent engineering and science applications and programming problems. The authors, well-known for their clear, concise presentation style emphasize how Fortran 90 is used to solve problems. Their strong pedagogical approach teaches the basic steps in program development, problem analysis and specification, algorithm development, program coding, program execution and testing, and program maintenance. Key features include a true Fortran 90 module; 115 Program Problems relevant to engineering and science; 36 complete programming examples; 13 Real-world Application sections that are specifically geared to various fields in engineering and science and illustrate their problem solving methodology; 475 exercises; Programming Pointers that suggest good program structure, style techniques, and warn against potential problems and pitfalls; and an FTP site from which you can download all the sample programs and subprograms marked in the text with a disk icon, the data files used in the examples, and on-line transparency masters.
The introduction of the Fortran 90 standard is the first significant change in the Fortran language in over 20 years. this book is designed for anyone wanting to learn Fortran for the first time or or a programmer who needs to upgrade from Fortran 77 to Fortran 90. Employing a practical, problem-based approach this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the language. More experienced programmers will find it a useful update to the new standard and will benefit from the emphasis on science and engineering applications.
This text introduces the FORTRAN 77 programming language, with special emphasis on applications to numerical methods in science and engineering. It stresses problem-solving, sound structured programming and software engineering principles. The book's early introduction to subprograms makes it possible to design programs in a modular fashion. It includes more than 250 written and programming exercises chosen from areas that are relevant to science and engineering students.
Designed for first-year science and engineering undergraduates, this text explains FORTRAN in a way suitable for use on large projects, and it stresses the importance of detailed designing prior to programming.
This introductory FORTRAN 77 book geared towards science and engineering majors opens each chapter with FORTRAN art. In this second edition, each chapter has an optional section of FORTRAN 90. It features early subroutines, top-down methodology (problem/method/pseudocode/program/output), teaching computational accuracy and thorough linear (versus spiral) topic coverage.
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.
