Written by members of the Fortran 90ISO and ANSI committees, this book is the source of the most important information about the powerful new Fortran 90 programming language. All of the important new features of Fortran 90 are covered with examples, and case studies are used to illustrate the practical use of features.

A tutorial for all programmers, engineers, and scientists who work with Fortran 77 and need to learn the heavily revised standards provided for in Fortran 90. Written by four members of the ANSI Fortran Standards Committee.

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

Digital Visual Fortran is the latest version of a major programming language tool used by scientists and engineers. Written by key technical writers from the Digital Visual Fortran product team, Digital Visual Fortran Programmer's Guide presents in printed form the critical portions of the official programmer's guide, previously only available online. The result is the authoritative book on Digital Visual Fortran's features and how to use them to create effective applications. Digital Visual Fortran is the language of choice for computation-intensive scientific and engineering applications, financial applications, and other programs. Digital recently acquired Fortran technology and rights from Microsoft that allows them to use the Microsoft Developer Studio Integrated Development Environment, which is featured in Microsoft's Visual C++ and Visual Basic. The result is that Digital Visual Fortran is much easier to use and looks and works much like Microsoft's industry-leading programming products for other market segments. The official programmer's guide to Digital Visual Fortran for Version 6.0A Authors are experts from the Digital Visual Fortran product group New Digital Fortran version include Microsoft interface and object technologies

This textbook provides an accessible introduction to the most important features of Fortran 2008. Features: presents a complete discussion of all the basic features needed to write complete Fortran programs; makes extensive use of examples and case studies to illustrate the practical use of features of Fortran 08, and supplies simple problems for the reader; provides a detailed exploration of control constructs, modules, procedures, arrays, character strings, data structures and derived types, pointer variables, and object-oriented programming; includes coverage of such major new features in Fortran 08 as coarrays, submodules, parameterized derived types, and derived-type input and output; highlights the topic of modules as the framework for organizing data and procedures for a Fortran program; investigates the excellent input/output facilities available in Fortran; contains appendices listing the many intrinsic procedures and providing a brief informal syntax specification for the language.

A comprehensive introduction which will be essential to the complete beginner who wants to learn the fundamentals of programming using a modern, powerful and expressive language; as well as those wanting to update their programming skills by making the move from earlier versions of Fortran.

Introducing Fortran 95 contains: - Lots of clear and simple examples highlighting the language features - Details of a variety of internet based sources which will prove invaluable for those seeking further information and support - Key features of the latest version of Fortran, including ISO Technical Reports TR 15580 and TR 15581 This comprehensive introduction will be essential to the complete beginner who wants to learn the fundamentals of programming using a modern, powerful, expressive and safe language, and to those wanting to update their programming skills by making the move from earlier versions of Fortran. Ian Chivers and Jane Sleightholme are the joint owners of comp-fortran-90. Both authors have been involved in teaching and supporting Fortran and related areas for over 20 years.
