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.

This text introduces the beginner to FORTRAN. To help the reader develop analysis skills while learning programming, engineering computations are incorporated with sound programming practices. Eight major programming assignments sections, each with a sample and solved model, illustrate the methods of preceding chapters, as well as introduce discussions concerning engineering orientation. This second edition integrates numerous advanced topics in numerical methods as they relate to computational procedures in order to reinforce their application in other courses such as calculus and physics. Topics especially tailored to the beginning user include matrix equations, root of functions, curve-fitting, series expansions, integration and differentiation and differential equations.

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.

Classical FORTRAN: Programming for Engineering and Scientific Applications, Second Edition teaches how to write programs in the Classical dialect of FORTRAN, the original and still most widely recognized language for numerical computing. This edition retains the conversational style of the original, along with its simple, carefully chosen subset la

The desire for numerical answers to applied problems has increased manifold with the advances made in various branches of science and engineering and rapid development of high-speed digital computers. Although numerical methods have always been useful, their role in the present day scientific computations and research is of fundamental importance. numerous distinguishing features. The contents of the book have been organized in a logical order and the topics are discussed in a systematic manner. concepts; algorithms and numerous exercises at the end of each chapter; helps students in problem solving both manually and through computer programming; an exhaustive bibliography; and an appendix containing some important and useful iterative methods for the solution of nonlinear complex equations.
