Programming in Fortran 90: A First Course for Engineers and Scientists1 review
Ian M. Smith

Wiley, 1995

A brief introduction to Fortran 90.

As the title of the book indicates, this book does not discuss all aspects of Fortran 90. It can be useful for FORTRAN 77 programmers as a quick introduction to Fortran 90. It is not, however, suitable for beginners. It is certainly not suitable for teaching a course to beginning students. It can ...

Harley R. Myler

Cambridge University Press, 1998

fortran

I like to study the computer programming of fortran and this is my first time of studying.
  
  











  



  
FORTRAN 90 for Scientists and Engineers1 review
Brian Hahn

Butterworth-Heinemann, 1994

A fantastic book for renewing oneself to Fortran 90

It has been many years since I did Fortran programming, but once I decided to get involved for professional reasons, this was an excellent choice. The author slowly and extremely methodically exposes the reader to the Fortran 90 language with what I will coin "computational motivation." Simply ...
  
  











  



  
Computational Physics: Fortran Version
Steven E. Koonin

Westview Press, 1998

Computational Physics is designed to provide direct experience in the computer modeling of physical systems. Its scope includes the essential numerical techniques needed to "do physics" on a computer. Each of these is developed heuristically in the text, with the aid of simple mathematical illustrations. However, the real value of the book is in the eight Examples and Projects, where the reader ...
  
  











  



  
Problem Solving with Fortran 90: For Scientists and Engineers (Undergraduate Texts in Computer Science)1 review
David R. Brooks

Springer, 1997

procedural methods with no user interface

Brooks gives you an introduction to the idea of using a computer to solve numerical problems. No previous experience with computing is assumed. He starts from scratch by explaining enough about the structure of a computer so that you can appreciate what is required in coding. He chose Fortran 90 as ...
  
  











  



  
Fortran 95 Handbook (Scientific and Engineering Computation)4 reviews
Jeanne C. Adams, Walter S. Brainerd, ...

The MIT Press, 1997

A thorough reference to Fortran 95.

+ Complete language reference, but not for rookies

This is not a textbook, but it is an important reference for the Fortran 95 programmer. It covers the features inherited from Fortran 77 as well as the new features in Fortran 90 and 95.
  
  











  



  
Fortran 90/95 for Scientists and Engineers16 reviews

Programmer's Guide to Fortran 904 reviews
Walter S. Brainerd, Charles H. Goldberg, ...

Springer, 1995

Excellent

+ A solid, well-written introduction to the language

I use this book over the Compaq fortran 90 language manual sometimes. Examples are easy to follow and the writing is very clear. Many examples. There is a nice section at the back on obsolete fortran 77 conventions, and their replacements. It's a nice compact book too - you don't realize how ...
  
  











  



  
Upgrading to Fortran 901 review
Cooper Redwine

Springer, 1995

Excellent, exceptionally well suited for self-study

I have looked at many books on f90. This one excels by -being exceptionally clearly written in a colloquial style that explains the ideas behind the new concepts and is fun reading -explains simple things first and progresses to the more complex issues one at a time -contains only complete code ...
  
  











  



  
Computing for Scientists: Principles of Programming with Fortran 90 and C++3 reviews
R. J. Barlow, AR Barnett

Wiley, 1998

unorthodox but very nice introduction to programming

+ Straight to what matters
+ Pithy Treatment of a Voluminous Subject

Intended for first or second year engineering or science students. It teaches programming at an introductory level. Yes, its a text book for one of those Programming 101 courses. However, what sets this textbook apart from others is that it employs two languages (i.e. Fortran and C++), instead ...
  
  











  



  
Introduction to FORTRAN 90 for Engineers and Scientists (Prentice Hall Modular Series for Engineering)3 reviews
Larry R. Nyhoff, Sanford Leestma

Prentice Hall, 1996

Exactly what I needed

+ Exactly what it advertises.

I needed a book to get up and running in my new job as a Fortran programmer. This was just the book to do that! My job is in the engineering field and the book not only covered code that pertained to engineering concepts, but it also covered the necessary code and syntax that I was likely to ...
  
  











  



  
The Essentials of Fortran (Essential Series)2 reviews
D. Rev. Smorlarski

Research & Education Assn, 1989

overall a very useful book

+ Short Userful and To the point

It's short and has all the basics. I have been programming in C for a few years and had to do some Fortan programming. I bought this book only and it was a breeze to wade through. Smolarski writes very clearly and it's only 120 pages so it reads very easily. The only bad thing is that certain ...

+ The ONLY book that has it all
+ Using Compaq Visual Fortran
+ A great investment
  
  











  



  
Classical Fortran2 reviews
Michael Kupferschmid

CRC, 2002

Excellent book for the beginning Fortran programmer

While this book doesn't include many of the newer additions to the Fortran language, it does cover all of the basics in enough detail that a beginning scientific or engineering programmer can easily write their own programs using it. However, the real value of this book is that it is written in a ...

Fortran Programs for Chemical Process Design, Analysis, and Simulation1 review
A. Kayode Coker Ph.D.

Gulf Professional Publishing, 1995

Strictly for chemical engineering

Fortran lives on, as shown by the example source code given in this book. The programs are for chemical engineering applications. They deal at the macroscopic level with such key issues as simulating fluid flow in a reactor. You should note that none of the programs deal with chemistry, per se. ...
  
  











  



  
Introducing Fortran 952 reviews
Ian Chivers, Jane Sleightholme

Springer, 2000

needs proofreading

If you have never programmed, this might be an o.k. book. If you know already some other languages as I do you'd probably better of with some other text. I for myself feel like I wasted my money on this book. It is full of typos and has certainly not been proofread. For example, I found a ...
  
  











  



  
The High Performance Fortran Handbook (Scientific and Engineering Computation)1 review
Charles H. Koelbel, David B. Loveman, ...

The MIT Press, 1993

Clear and thorough

Fortran is alive and well, Java and C++ notwithstanding. It still does a lot of the heavy lifting in numerical computing of all kinds. But, in order to stay relevant, it's had to change with the high-end machines that run those computations. Fortran 90 came a long way from F77, but not far enough. ...
  
  











  



  
Developing Statistical Software in Fortran 95 (Statistics and Computing)1 review
David R. Lemmon, Joseph L. Schafer

Springer, 2005

pragmatic choice of language

Fortran just keeps chugging along. You rarely see Fortran texts in the computer section of bookstores anymore. Largely supplanted by newer programs with fancy user interfaces. But this book shows that there is still a lot of scientific activity that depends on Fortran. The text is directed at a ...
