This review is from: Developing Statistical Software in Fortran 95 (Statistics and Computing) (Paperback)
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 reader already well versed in statistics. But who is not primarily a programmer. So it offers you a crash course in object oriented statistical programming, using Fortran as the language. This is probably an easier approach than trying to teach a programmer several years of advanced statistics. Frankly, C++ or Java or C# are better for OO coding. But the book reflects the reality of a lot of existing Fortran code that you probably need to use or conform to. And F95 does give you a basic OO ability. |
