4.0 out of 5 stars review for schaum's outline serires on Fortran77 programming, June 11, 2000

mohnish chaturvedi - See all my reviews

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Programming With Fortran 77 (Schaum's Outline Series) (Paperback)

well what can i say about one of the most preferred series for programming. this one is a real wacko 'cause it not only assumes your programming backgrond to be nill from starting therefore helping you to start off instantaneously. what i also liked about this book was the fact that the codes associated with the problems give one enough hands on experience so that one can tackle small scale problems very confidently.. i am sure that this book will prove to be a great help for all those who are looking for a very clear and intutive book for starting off learning Fortran 77

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it for what it is, January 8, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Programming With Fortran 77 (Schaum's Outline Series) (Paperback)

My undergrad mech. eng. program uses MATLAB exclusively and I now need to learn FORTRAN for graduate school in less than a week. Despite the low rating for this book and knowing that it may be too elementary, I picked it up anyways just because of my experience with Schaum's outline.

Indeed, this book is very elementary and doesn't addresses some of the problems that I might need to solve. But this book is an OUTLINE of programming in FORTRAN. I consider myself an experienced programmer (not expert, just experienced) and I'm halfway through this book in an hour. It shows me all I need to know before I start exploring FORTRAN myself.

Overall, I think this book works like the owner manual for your car. You read it once then put it aside for a couple of years. But for $17, I think this is a very good buy. It will show you what you need to know fast. Just don't expect it to do your laundry and cook your dinner (dorm life humor).

For Fortran beginners this would be a good friend of yours but using it with other books such as Introduction to Fortran or other published tutorials on the web would put the icing to the cake.I recommend 'Interractive fortran 77- A hands on Approach' by Ian D Chivers et al.-which is also an online book to supplement this book.In that way you will be kickin' some fortran.
