2.0 out of 5 stars
A brief introduction to Fortran 90.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Programming in Fortran 90: A First Course for Engineers and Scientists (Paperback)
As the title of the book indicates, this book does not discuss all aspects of Fortran 90. It can be useful for FORTRAN 77 programmers as a quick introduction to Fortran 90. It is not, however, suitable for beginners. It is certainly not suitable for teaching a course to beginning students. It can be said that the book has not been prepared with utmost care.
