Summary
Classical FORTRAN is a college text, self-study guide, and reference about programming computers to do calculations using FORTRAN, the original and still most widely-recognized language for engineering and scientific applications.Classical FORTRAN features a small, simple subset language that is easy to teach and learn a conversational, classroom-proven style that is easy to read numerous case studies and examples practical advice on program design, documentation, and coding style unusually detailed coverage of floating-point arithmetic a thorough discussion of performance measurement and optimization an introduction to parallel processing using MPI an introduction to FORTRAN-90 and High Performance FORTRAN an introduction to vector processing a summary of program development and documentation in UNIX a survey of traditional FORTRAN memory management techniques expert advice on dealing with troublesome legacy codes a collection of general-purpose utility routines an extensive bibliography including a list of suggested reading a comprehensive concept-driven index over 550 widely-varied end-of-chapter exercisesOffering a practical approach to programming for real applications, Classical FORTRAN is an essential text for graduate students whose research involves scientific programming; undergraduates studying or using numerical methods; advanced high-school students with a solid foundation in science and mathematics; and practicing mechanical, aerospace, biomedical, electrical, industrial, civil, and chemical engineers and chemists and physicists who need to perform numerical calculations or maintain legacy FORTRAN codes.
