Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Based on the best seller FORTRAN 77 for Engineers and Scientists, Third Edition,. This text is an introduction to the FORTRAN 77 programming language with special emphasis on applications to numerical methods in science and engineering. It emphasizes sound structured programming and software engineering principles, It is, however, more than just an introduction to programming. It contains careful descriptions of a variety of numerical methods that are particularly useful in solving science and engineering problems. Included in the discussion of each numerical method is a program that implements the method and a typical science/engineering problem that uses this method.

This review is from: FORTRAN 77 and Numerical Methods for Engineers and Scientists (Textbook Binding)

Fortran 77 is old, but there is a lot of legacy code out there. Since Fortran is backwards compatible (i.e. F77 code will compile on a F90 compiler) and there are a number of freely available F77 compilers available (the GNU compiler and GFORTRAN), F77 will always be a valid (and used) programming language, even if newer features of Fortran improve the language. If you need a reference book for F77, I recommend getting one of the Nyhoff and Leestma books.
