An excellent way for begginers to understand the structure of FORTRAN. Useful also for experienced programmers with a detailed index table.

I have been using this book to teach an introductory university-level mechanical engineering class that emphasizes computer programming. This book adequately covers all important topics in Fortran and contains many real-world engineering applications (such as solving for roots).

The examples are well commented, which is great for students who are beginning to learn how to program.

I feel that this book is designed for someone who has very little experience in computer programming and I would not recommend this book to someone who is already well-versed in other computer languages. A much smaller book, such as "Schaum's Outline of Programming With Fortran 77 (Schaum's Outlines)," would be better for advanced programmers who want to learn Fortran.

I am returning this item because the printing is unacceptably poor. The book is softbound and yet the pages appear to be photocopies, and not good ones. The syntax definitions (the most important part, for me), are in gray-on-gray box text that, in this printing, is almost unreadable.

I looked around in class, and every body had small compact, smooth, and colored books.(same material). Am the only one who had this bulky, black&white, big boring book. This is not the original book, its just printed sheets which make it too big & heavy to handle. It looks so funny, i don't know why 2 people gave a 5-star. I should have 1st read the one-star reviews before i bought it. But I was too late........

I bought this textbook as new here on Amazon. It arrived on time, but the condition is poor. The cover is damaged, making the textbook look as if it were used instead of new. I have had good experiences on my previous purchases. My previous purchases had arrived on time and in great condition. I have never before received damaged products from Amazon, until now. I am disappointed and slightly angry as this is not a cheap book. I paid the price of a new textbook, but got the quality of an used book.

Book arrived on time and in condition stated. This edition looks cheaper than previous ones, but that's not the senders fault.

I wrote a premature about this product. They claimed the product was in "acceptable" condition, but it was completely falling apart! I will never buy from them AGAIN...EVER!

I'm a college freshman who took a course that needed this book. I would say that the price and condition wise of the product sent to me is great, but I don't know if the content's helpful or not. Overall, I'll give this product a 5-star for it's price and condition.
