Classical Fortran: Programming for Engineering and Scientific Applications, Second Edition

by Michael Kupferschmid

Classical 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 language and its focus on floating-point calculations. New to the Second Edition With numerous updates and revisions throughout, this second edition continues to use case studies and examples to introduce the language elements and design skills needed to write graceful, correct, and efficient programs for real engineering and scientific applications. After reading this book, students will know what statements to use and where as well as why to avoid the others, helping them become expert FORTRAN programmers.

Ok...the book is not bad in itself...but I must confess that I basically skip through most of it...I have read the Fortran95 manual and that gave me all the Fortran knowledge that I required...so most of the things in this book...I knew already...also, it has a lot of explanations that I didn't bother to fully read and it provides a lot of examples but then again...I know Fortran so they didn't really add too much to my knowledge...maybe...I this was my first Fortran book ever I would give it a better rating...but it's not...so...that's it...

Nice book if you read it first...no so nice if you have read other Fortran books before...
